Biggest Threat to U.S. National Security
Today Is the U.S. Congress
A senior defense official recently remarked: “The biggest threat to the U.S. natural security today is the U.S. Congress.” While that individual is unnamed for obvious reasons, the sentiment is right on target. The failure to pass a defense appropriations bill for fiscal year 2022 means that the Department of Defense will be restricted in how it operates for the year, and it will also stifle new initiatives to deal with the array of growing threats to the United States.
The only logical explanation is that there is a failure by the Congress, and by extension the American people, to understand the gravity of the threats facing the U.S., which are growing stronger every day. It is truly shocking that Russia’s preparations to launch the largest invasion in Europe since World War II and increasingly aggressive actions by China have done nothing to motivate Congress to pass this essential legislation.
After years of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations in Afghanistan, Iraq, and elsewhere in the wake of 9/11, the Department of Defense finally woke up to the realization that it had neglected appropriate focus on the more significant threats of China and Russia. The 2018 National Defense Strategy articulated a more appropriate national defense strategy. Indications suggest that the new defense strategy set for release later this year will continue that vector.
For several years now the Pentagon has been trying to “catch up” to correct the consequences of its neglect of U.S. forces that could deter, and if necessary, win a major regional conflict with either China or Russia or their proxies. As just one example, the U.S. Air Force operates a geriatric force that is becoming more so every day. Its bombers and tankers are 60 years old; trainers over 50; fighters and helicopters over 40. For comparison, the average U.S. commercial airliner is about 10 years old—and they don’t pull 9 times the force of gravity daily, as do our fighters.
Here is what the Air Force Air Superiority Flight Plan says about the path we are on: "The Air Force’s projected force structure in 2030 is not capable of fighting and winning against the array of potential adversary capabilities.” That is not politicians talking; it is an official statement from the U.S. Air Force.
Unfortunately, the threat of a year-long continuing resolution puts the Defense Department’s reconstitution effort on pause for a year, undermining our nation’s defense as a result.
Arnold Punaro, a retired Marine Corps major general, former congressional staffer, and defense policy expert, recently highlighted the significance of the current congressional inaction when he explained that the potential impact of a year-long continuing resolution for fiscal year 2022 would be more harmful than the notorious 2011 Budget Control Act (BCA). That ill-advised law was designed to be so damaging that no one in their right mind would ever allow it to take effect, but when Congress failed to negotiate that Act to a logical conclusion, they hung the military out to dry.
