Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, JCS Chairman, thinks that the US military scores well when it come to intent to transform, but its way down the scale on follow-through. At Kirtland AFB, N.M., Wednesday, Pace said that on a 10-point scale measuring transformation progress, the military gets an “8” for intent and a “4” for execution. The problem is not, he says, lack of energy applied, but lack of knowing “what we’re capable of doing.”
With Congress considering another continuing resolution to cover the rest of fiscal 2025, the Space Force’s No. 2 officer asked lawmakers to give the service “flexibility” to deal with budget uncertainty.
