The committee met at 10 a.m. in room SH-216, Hart Senate Of- fice Building, Hon. Jon Tester, (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Tester, Durbin, Feinstein, Schatz, Baldwin, Shaheen, Shelby, Collins, Murkowski, Moran, Hoeven, and Booz- man. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE NATIONAL GUARD RESERVE OPENING STATEMENT OF SENATOR JON TESTER Senator TESTER. I want to call this committee hearing to order. I want to thank our witnesses today. We have General David Bellon of the Marine Corps Reserve. We have Lieutenant General Jody Daniels of the Army Reserve. We have General Daniel Hokanson of the National Guard Bureau. We have Admiral Mustin of the Navy Reserve, and we have Lieutenant General Scobee, Chief of the Air Force Reserve. Thank you all for being here and we look forward to your testi- mony. Before I get started on my prepared statement, I want to say when you guys are up to bat, there are five of you, try to hold it to 5 minutes. Your entire written statement will be a part of the record. I would just say this. Americans owe the National Guard and Re- serve a debt of gratitude for your response to the COVID-19 pan- demic. Nearly 60,000 National Guard and Reserve service members answered the call of duty. These were historic record-breaking mo- bilizations, and I want to personally say thank you to you and the dedicated men and women under your command as well as their families. The pandemic has impacted all Americans. We all know how it has disrupted our families and our careers with so many jobs lost and questions about how to pay the bills. Nearly 800,000 members of the Guard and Reserve have been through the same, plus deployments, both domestically and abroad. That places further strain on families and civilian employment. (1)
