READINESS CRISIS GETTING WORSE
Sep 6, 2017
WARNING SIGNS WERE EVIDENT
This summer, 42 service members died in accidents related to readiness challenges impacting the U.S. Military. Seventeen Sailors were killed aboard the USS McCain and USS Fitzgerald; separate accidents claimed the lives of 19 Marines and 6 Soldiers.
These incidents are more warning lights that our military readiness crisis is deepening. Congress has a choice: repeat past mistakes and jeopardize more lives or work together before the end of the fiscal year to provide the military the resources they need to begin turning the readiness tide around.
