Rep. Calvert Remarks on Troop Safety Provision Included in the National Defense Authorization Act

Published | Video Starts at 00:22

My provision would establish a new joint Safety Council requirements for each military branch to develop a plan to identify corrective and preventive actions following major accidents and mishaps. Earlier this year, I introduced the military Equipment Quality and Safety Reform act, or Miss R Act, which includes a similar mandate. My effort to improve safety and transparency in the wake of major accidents is motivated by the tragic death of my constituent? S 16 pilot, first Lieutenant David Schmitz, whose call sign was NSR.
