AUSTIN, Texas – A Maryland senator is calling to halt funding to the new Army Futures Command until service leadership can answer questions about its cost and mission.
Sen. Ben Cardin, D-Md., filed an amendment to a defense appropriations measure to fund the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit paying for the establishment of the Futures Command for the new fiscal year until two ongoing investigations by the Government Accountability Office are completed. The command is scheduled to activate Friday in Austin in a ceremony slated to include top Army and state leaders.
