‘Reimagining How We Fight’: SASC Chairman Details 4 Priorities for Coming Year

While SASC Chairman Sen. Jack Reed told reporters “sustaining the warfighter” tops that list, the other three areas revolve around weapon procurement and supporting technology lines, and ensuring that the Pentagon is best aligned to use those capabilities.
