This hearing is for you. Thank you for figuratively and literally having my
00:06
back.
00:24
As I've said to many of you in private meetings, when President Trump chose me
00:28
for this position, the primary charge he gave me
00:32
was to bring the warrior culture back to the Department of Defense.
00:36
He, like me, once a Pentagon, laser focused
00:40
on lethality, meritocracy, war fighting, accountability, and readiness.
00:58
You may continue, sir.
01:11
To bring back war fighting, if confirmed, I'm going to work with President Trump
01:16
and this committee to, one, restore the warrior ethos
01:21
to the Pentagon and throughout our fighting force. In doing so, we will
01:24
re-establish trust in our military, addressing the recruiting crisis,
01:29
retention crisis, and readiness crisis in our ranks.
01:36
Members of the security force will remove members.
