Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, JCS Chairman, thinks that the US military scores well when it come to intent to transform, but its way down the scale on follow-through. At Kirtland AFB, N.M., Wednesday, Pace said that on a 10-point scale measuring transformation progress, the military gets an “8” for intent and a “4” for execution. The problem is not, he says, lack of energy applied, but lack of knowing “what we’re capable of doing.”
Members of the House Armed Services Committee say the AIM-260 Joint Advanced Tactical Missile program has been set back three months due to the ongoing government shutdown. The comment is noteworthy because the JATM's status has been kept tightly under wraps.
