I am, however, optimistic about President Trump's direction to include a significant increase in the fiscal year 27 defense budget and what this will mean for SOCOM in the future. I look forward to reviewing the budget and putting SOCOM on a path that increases to get them to a steady state of at least $20 billion annually in their budget. We look forward to hearing how Congress can best support socom, such that you can continue to provide the high return on investment the nation requires while simultaneously modernizing for the challenges of the future.
