Moderator: Senator, it’s a great honor to have you. Your staff said you’re on a very tight timeline, so we’ll go ahead and jump in, if that’s okay.
You’ve been active across a broad agenda of military and national security issues, most recently working on important burn pit legislation and equally so on a resolution to reform the War Powers. But I do want to open obviously with the issue you’ve been pressing for more than a decade, reforming the UCMJ. And you’ve certainly gained attention and a lot of traction in recent months.
The SecDef, Chairman and others are supporting you but not fully in the way you want to reform UCMJ. So the question is, given your successes, ma’am, what’s the way ahead? Where does your initiative go from here? What are your next steps?
