I am pleased to be here today to discuss the combat air power capabilities of the United States. There has been considerable discussion in recent months about the Department of Defense's (DOD) aircraft modernization programs. Much of the discussion has focused on whether DOD will be able to 'afford' the large number of new combat aircraft it currently plans to buy. Today, I would like to focus more on joint warfighting requirements, the aggregate capabilities of U.S. combat air power forces to meet those requirements, and DOD efforts to place greater emphasis on joint considerations in program and budget decisions.
