1 of 4: Today I had the honor & privilege to appear & testify before the distinguished Members of the #SASC as @POTUS' nominee for Secretary of Defense. I am deeply humbled & grateful for Senator @timkaine's endorsement & introduction before the Committee.
2 of 4: I thank Chairman @JimInhofe, ranking Member @SenJackReed,
@SASCMajority, @SASCDems for their consideration. I'm honored to be part of the world's greatest military. If confirmed, I'll strive to continue to prepare DOD to compete in current & future security environments.
3 of 4: I am an avid supporter of the National Defense Strategy & its
clear-eyed assessment of the strategic environment we find ourselves in
today. The growing threats posed by great power competitors warrant a
re-focus to high-intensity conflict across the Military Services.
4 of 4: If confirmed, I will work to advance the strategic goals set forth
by my predecessors along three lines of effort - build a more lethal force,
strengthen alliances & attract new partners, & continue to reform the
