Ronny Jackson: “Through the Intelligence and Special Operations…”

“This year's NDA puts our war fighters first by streamlining procurement and ensuring they receive the capabilities needed to counter the increasingly sophisticated actions of our adversaries, particularly the People's Republic of China. Through the Intelligence and Special Operations Subcommittee, we were able to ensure our Special Operations forces, the Defense Intelligence Enterprise and the Defense Security Cooperation Agency had the tools required to execute the Department's efforts in strategic competition and countering malign influence. Additionally, I'm extremely proud to have championed the SOCOM Urgent Technologies and Capabilities Pilot Program, which ensures our special operators receive the technology and equipment they need to meet and defeat emerging threats.” (00:31–00:47)
