Description
No description was provided for this meeting.
If this is YOUR meeting, an easy way to fix this is to add a description to your video, wherever mtngs.io found it (probably YouTube).
A
I'm
going
to
call
the
meeting
the
order.
This
is
the
fourth
meeting
of
the
interim
veterans,
military
affairs
and
public
protection
committee.
When
we
have
roll
call
answer
whether
where
you
are
in
the
room
in
in
your
capital,
annex
office
or
in
your
district
and
we'll
go
from
there,
we're
ready
for
the
roll
call.
D
A
A
I
have
an
important
health
appointment
in
lexington
today,
so
I
will
not
be
able
to
conclude
the
meeting
but
are
very
capable
co-chairman,
representative
thomas
will
take
over
when
I
need
to
leave
we're
ready
to
start.
The
agenda
is
oh
yeah.
Here
we
go
pledge
of
allegiance
representative
freeland.
C
A
A
A
Okay,
we're
ready
to
start
with
the
agenda
item
dealing
with
fort
knox's,
colonel
o'brien
online.
G
All
righty
so
we're
going
to
bring
these
slides
up
here,
real
quick,
but
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
the
committee
for
the
invitation
to
do
something
I
truly
enjoy.
Let's
talk
about
fort
knox,
but
to
just
get
some
check
that
they
can
see
the
slides.
Can
you
see
the
slides.
A
G
We
can
okay,
and
so
again,
like
I
said
I
I
truly
enjoy
talking
about
fort
knox.
This
is
my
second
time
here,
and
this
was
my
number
one
choice
of
installations
to
come
back
in
command,
so
truly
grateful
for
that.
G
I
feel
I'm
blessed
on
that
one,
and
one
of
the
main
reasons
that
I
wanted
to
come
back
here
is
that
the
overwhelming
community
of
support
we
get
from
our
neighbors
and
around
fort
knox-
and
I
told
this
story
yesterday
when
I
was
talking
to
some
folks
in
radcliff-
is
that
my
oldest
daughter
at
the
time
when
we
were
in
germany,
I
told
her.
We
were
going
back
to
fort
knox.
She
almost
started
crying.
G
It
wasn't
because
she
was
sad
is
because
she
was
super
happy,
but
to
give
some
some
some
props
to
to
to
my
brother
down
the
road
andy
jordan,
this
year
or
as
far
as
for
for
2020,
we
fall
under
different
divisions
within
the
installation,
management
command
and
fort
knox
was
deemed
the
best
garrison
for
2020
within
the
training
directorate
and
then
andy
down.
G
The
road
at
fort
campbell,
fort
campbell
was
was
the
best
for
the
readiness
directorate,
so
it's
awesome
that
the
commonwealth
has
two
of
the
top
two
garrisons
throughout
the
en
throughout
the
installation,
management
command
portfolio
and
with
that
we'll
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
next
slide.
G
So
this
is
our
our
mission
envision
and
one
of
the
big
things
you
know
the
army's
two
top
priorities
are
people
and
venus,
and
we
like
to
we
say
here
at
fort
knox-
is
people
first
or
readiness
always,
and
my
job
here
at
fort
knox,
is
to
ensure
that
our
infrastructure
and
our
training
facilities
and
our
ranges
are
kept
up
to
date
and
kept
modern.
So
we
can
ensure
that
we
are
enabling
readiness.
G
But
at
the
same
time
I
have
a
great
team
of
folks
here
who
have
strategic
vision
and
getting
after
the
fact
of
taking
care
of
our
soldiers,
their
their
families
and
our
civilians.
G
So,
as
you
can
see,
we
have
nine
general
officer
commands
that
are
that
reside
here
on
fort
knox
and
we
per
capita
have
more
general
officers
than
any
other
installation,
and
the
thing
that
is
amazing
with
this
is
that
we
have
a
world.
We
have
worldwide
mission
sets
that
we
deal
with.
So
we
have
fifth
core
that
is
part
of
the
taking
care
of
the
the
european
problem
set.
G
We
have
first
tsc
that's
over
in
the
middle
east
that
are
providing
logistics
and
sustainment
to
our
war
fighters
in
that
region,
and
then
we
have
a
nationwide
mission
between
usurek
u.s,
army,
cadet
command
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
So
our
motto
here
at
fort
knox
is
strength
starts
here,
and
I
want
to
break
that
out
for
you
a
little
bit
just
so.
G
I
can
explain
a
little
bit
better
and
I
truly
believe
that
the
future
of
the
army
and
string
starts
here
is
something
that
that
fort
knox
has
got
a
key
part
in
so
first
of
all,
we
have
u.s
army,
recruiting
command
and
u.s
army,
recruiting
command
trains
and
validates
all
of
our
future
recruiters
and
those
recruiters
are
going
out
and
bringing
new
soldiers
into
the
the
wall
of
our
nation's
defense
every
day.
So
without
u.s
army
recruiting
command
here
at
fort
knox,
we
would
not
have
recruiters
that
were
recruiting
new
soldiers.
G
We
also
have
u.s
army
cadet
command,
which
by
far
is
the
largest
organization
producing
newly
commissioned
second
lieutenants
every
year.
All
those
do
second
lieutenants
when
they
come
here
as
cadets
and
they
are
trained
and
validated
on
their
future
potential
to
become
second
lieutenants
and
young
leaders
in
the
army
and
without
fort
knox.
They
would
not
be
executing
that
also
cadet
summer.
Training
is
the
largest
recurring
training
event
for
the
army
and
then,
along
with
that,
we
have
the
hrc.
G
The
human
resources,
command
and
human
resources
command
for
the
most
part
manages
a
soldier's
career
from
the
time
they
step
foot
onto
duty
until
the
time
they
decide,
whether
it's
after
their
initial
obligation
or
like
me
at
some
point
retiring,
so
again,
strength
starts
here
without
the
things
that
are
on
fort
knox,
we
would
not
have
new
soldiers,
we
would
have
not
had
new
leaders,
oh
by
the
way.
We
also
currently
have
the
command
assessment
program,
which
is
the
the
current
program
that
determines
brings
us
all
the
future
future
personnel
that
could
be
battalion.
G
Commanders
brigade
commanders
commands
our
majors
in
a
couple
of
other
different
areas,
and
so,
without
that
program
being
hosted
here
at
fort
knox,
you
know
the
future
battalion
commanders
brigade
commanders
so
on
and
so
forth.
Again
that
gets
back
to
the
future
of
the
army.
Along
with
that,
we
also
have,
I
think,
some
of
the
premier
training
locations
within
the
continental
united
states.
G
We
have
a
platform
for
joint,
multinational
and
interagency
training,
and
we
have
a
lot
of
ranges
here
that
are,
you
know.
I
call
them
one-offs
that
you
just
don't
see
a
lot.
We
have
a
a
360
degree,
live
fire
range
on
the
salt
river
that
some
of
our
joint
friends
utilize.
Quite
a
bit.
We
have
the
new
dagger
range,
so
the
the
digital
air
ground
integration
range,
it's
being
built
on
yano.
The
old
tank
range
it'll
be
up,
probably
late
in
23..
G
That
is
the
only
one
of
its
kind
in
this
area
and
actually
the
the
closest
one
is
at
fort
bliss.
So
we
expect
for
that
to
get
a
lot
of
use
as
it
becomes
open,
whether
it's
with
our
aviation
crews
or
our
maneuver
folks
or
our
soft,
or
our
special
operations,
forces,
brothers
and
sisters.
G
But
beyond
that
again
string
starts
here
for
sure
and
we
are
the
future
of
the
army
next
slide,
please,
and
so
it's
hard
to
it's
hard
to,
I
would
say
stovepipe
or
pigeonhole
the
role
of
fort
knox.
We
are
not
the
home
of
the
101st.
We
are
not
the
home
of
the
first
cavalry
division.
We
are
not
the
maneuver
center
of
excellence,
like
you
have
done
at
fort
benning,
but
what
we
do
have
again
is
those
nine
geo
commands
worldwide
missions,
as
well
as
that
central
role
in
recruiting
training
and
supporting
the
warfighter.
G
I
kind
of
already
discussed
string
starts
here
in
the
future
of
the
army
and
how
critical
that
is,
but
again
multi-functional.
So
we
support
several
different
types
of
mission
sets.
With
these
general
officer
commands,
along
with
training
for
active
duty,
national
guard
reserve
component,
we
actually
have
a
a
police
department,
that's
operating
up
in
our
zestman
urban
operations
center
today,
so
we
like,
I
said
we
do-
have
we're
multifunctional
and
we
are
all
about
getting
after
some
readiness.
The
other
thing
that
we're
very
proud
of
is
based
on
the
storm
that
was
here
in
2009.
G
We
had
some
leadership
focus
that
developed
what
has
now
become
the
army's
first
100
energy,
secure
and
energy,
independent
installation,
and
it's
only
because
of
that.
You
know
that
storm
that
we
had
in
2009
that
we
got
there.
We
are
years
ahead
of
any
other
installation
when
it
comes
to
our
energy,
secure
and
our
energy
independence,
and
once
we
get
our
water
treatment
facility
online
here,
probably
sometime
in
november,
we'll
also
be
able
to
produce
our
own
energy
to
produce
our
own
water,
so
we'll
kind
of
have
an
islandable.
G
If
you
want
to
kind
of
look
at
it
as
islandable
we
can,
we
can.
We
can
take
ourselves
off
the
grid
if
need
be
based
on
contingency
operations
and
then
the
future
of
the
army.
I
won't.
I
won't
belabor
that
anymore,
but
I'm
a
true
believer
that
you
know
without
fort
knox.
The
future
of
the
army
would
look
a
little
bit
bleak
and
then
I
won't
talk
a
whole
lot
about
the
economic
portion
I'll.
Let
general
iacocca
get
on
that,
but
I
just
pulled
that
that
fort
knox
is
an
economic
beast.
G
I
was
meeting
with
the
lincoln
trail
area,
development
district
folks
and
one
of
them
told
that-
and
I
wrote
that
in
my
notebook
I
was
like
that's
true.
You
know
as
if
fort
knox
is
an
economic
beast,
along
with
that,
I'm
a
strong
believer
that
the
the
strength
of
fort
knox
is
directly
related
to
the
strength
of
our
neighbors
and
communities
surrounding
fort
knox.
Next
slide,
please,
and
so
our
community
linkages
our
intergovernmental
support
agreements.
G
Currently
we
have
three
and
they're
all
with
hardin
county
and
we're
always
looking
to
get
after
that
and
get
more
of
those
because
they
are.
They
are
beneficial
to
both
ourselves,
as
well
as
the
local
communities
and
we're
always
looking
at
the
possibility
of
possibly
with
the
the
state
of
kentucky
as
far
as
support
agreements,
things
such
as
road
maintenance
or
environmental
or
recycling,
we're
always
looking
for
ways
to
to
better
integrate
ourselves
within
the
community.
G
Kcma
general
bullard
great
asset
to
have
he
flattens
coms
for
us
and
gets
a
lot
of
information
to
it.
So
we're
all
kind
of
seeing
the
same
thing.
The
kdva
I
actually
got
to
take
part
in
their
9
11
patriot,
day
ceremony
here
recently
at
the
veterans
cemetery
first
rate
event.
I
got
to
hear
commissioner
allen
speak
on
that,
so
again,
a
great
relationship
there
krda
general
iacocci,
and
we
had
beth
avey
in
the
room
as
well.
G
I
think
you
can
tell
we're
pretty
well
linked
in
together,
as
I'm
sitting
in
his
conference
room,
taking
this
taking
this
this
committee
meeting
and
then
again
the
ltad
lincoln
trail
area
development.
District
we've
actually
got
a
our
compatible
use
plan
executive
steering
committee
is
happening
next
week,
so
we're
looking
forward
to
that
kentucky
career
center.
G
It's
crucial
as
a
major
cog
in
benefits
for
helping
our
transitioning,
not
only
our
transitioning
soldiers,
but
our
military
spouses,
as
well
as
far
as
career
development
and
and
finding
careers,
so
we're
very
thankful
for
our
partnership
with
them,
and
then
we
have
the
whole.
You
know
the
gamut
of
civic
organizations
here
that
have
wrapped
their
arms
around
the
installation
and
it
all
gets
back
to
again.
G
This
is
what
this
is:
the
the
most
supportive
community
I've
ever
been
in
my
23
years
in
the
military,
and
I'm
lucky
enough
that
this
happens
to
be
my
second
time
and
then
college
is
a
university.
We
actually
have
four
kentucky
universities
here
on
campus,
we
have
ectc
sullivan
university
of
louisville,
and
western
kentucky
are
present
on
our
campus
and
then
our
way
ahead.
G
One
of
the
things
we're
looking
forward
to
is
we
have.
We
have
a
little
bit
of
a
deficit
of
housing
here
on
the
installation,
but
we
are
expecting
next
spring
to
start
breaking
ground
on
54
bedroom
houses
and
that'll.
That
will
benefit
our
soldiers
quite
a
bit
and
their
and
their
families.
The
military
housing
area
is
under
review.
What
we
have,
what
we've
seen
and
it's
kind
of
tied
into
our
housing
deficit.
G
We
have
a
couple
hundred
families
that
are
living
up
in
the
louisville
area
in
jefferson
county,
and
so
what
we're
looking
to
do
is
try
to
get
our
our
basic
allowance
for
housing
to
also
encompass
that
area,
because
right
now
it
doesn't-
and
we
have
some
folks
up
there
in
louisville
that
are
paying
out
of
pocket.
Another
great
new
story,
banduras
elementary.
It's
projected
to
be
open.
The
new
construction
will
start.
It's
projected
to
be
open
for
the
school
year
in
2024
2025,
and
it
is
our
oldest
school.
G
I
think
it's
63
years
old,
so
we'll
have
three
extremely
modern,
21st
century
schools
here
on
the
installation
that
will
only
benefit
our
military
kids,
the
kentucky
wire
project.
I
just
recently
approved
the
agreement
with
lg
e.
To
I
don't
know,
the
poll
agreement,
I
think,
is
what
it
was
so
very
excited
to
do
that
and
get
some.
G
We
have
the
clinic
right
outside
wilson
gate
and
we're
always
looking
to
increase
those
services,
because
it's
just
a
benefit
to
us
as
well
as
far
as
our
military
families
go
and
the
one
thing
I
do
have-
and
I'm
always
I
always
kind
of
seem
to
be
in
the
deficit
for
this
one
as
well
is
child
care.
So
currently
you
know
I'm
just
like
everybody
else
in
the
state.
I'm
dealing,
you
know
with
the
effects
of
covet
on
employment
and
things
like
that
and
we're
always
we're
always
seem
to
be
coming
up.
G
Short
as
far
as
child
care
that
we
can
provide
here
on
post,
so
if
I
could
get
any
advocacy
for
a
way
ahead-
or
you
know
just
in
the
future-
for
military
child
care
in
your
neighborhood,
that
would
be
great
there's
only
four,
I
think
within
50
miles
and
the
military
care
in
your
child
in
your
neighborhood.
Actually,
they
they
abide
by
what
our
our
child
development
center
standards
are.
So
that's
that's
kind
of
a
little
bit
different
than
your
normal
child
care
outside
the
installation
fence.
G
H
Okay,
just
give
me
a
minute
while
I
switch
slides
here,
but
while
I'm
doing
that
as
colonel
bryan
said,
one
of
the
things
I
really
like
doing
is
talking
about
fort
knox,
and
this
great
community
I
had
29
years
in
the
army,
had
the
opportunity
to
serve
at
multiple
different
locations,
but
when
it
came
time
to
retire,
this
is
where
I
wanted
to
to
settle,
and
so
my
wife
and
I
before
pardon
me
I'm
trying
to
get
this
screen
to
the
screen.
I
want
it
to
be
before
we
had
retired.
H
We,
we
bought
our
our
property
here,
and
this
is
where
we
we
wanted
to
settle,
we're
very
happy
and
I'll.
Tell
you
that
of
all
the
places
I've
been.
This
is.
H
Okay,
I
assume
you
can
see
my
slides
now.
Yes,
we
can
okay,
great
sorry
about
that.
So
you
know
all
the
places
I've
been.
It
was
really
you
know
fort
knox
where
the
community
and
the
post
were
so
well
connected.
I
only
experienced
that
one
other
place,
and
that
was
when
I
would
go
tdy
to
fort
campbell.
So
it
must
really
be
a
kentucky
thing
where
the
posts
about
10
and
a
half
years
at
fort
bragg,
but
never
any
connections
like
they
had
here
on
post.
H
I
don't
want
to
spend
too
much
time
talking
about
krda,
but
I
think
it's
important
to
note
that
you
know
the
knox
regional
development
alliance
was
born
out
of
the
core
committee,
which
had
existed
for
over
20
years,
and
so
that
was
put
together
by
businessmen
and
and
women
who
recognized
the
importance
of
fort
knox
to
to
this
region,
and
so
they
created
the
core
committee
and
in
2017
they
realized,
hey.
H
We
needed
a
full-time
organization
to
to
to
stand
up
and
work
relations
between
fort
knox
and
the
community
and
to
advocate
to
to
folks
in
dc
and
I'll
cover
that
on
on
the
next
slide
and
so
krda
was
established.
H
H
We
work
with
a
lot
of
defense
contractors.
Since
we've
been
established,
a
lot
of
defense
contractors
will
reach
out
to
us.
In
fact,
we
had
a
conference
with
one
last
night
that
we
helped
connect
with
hrc.
They
were
having
trouble
getting
to
the
right
people.
They
called
us.
We
got
them
to
the
right.
People
and
they've
now
have
a
relationship
where
they
can
go
in
and
talk
to
hrc.
It
would
that
one
happen
to
be
with
human
resources
command.
We've
done
them
with
other
commands
on
post.
H
H
Colonel
o'brien
talked
about
the
public
public
partnerships
that
they've
been
working
with
hardin
county.
You
know
that's
one
of
the
things
that
you
know.
Krda
has
been
tangentially
helpful
with
that,
but
really
hardin
county
government
and
the
post
have
really
taken
the
lead
on
that
opportunities
for
soldiers
and
their
families.
H
So
if
you're
interested
in
seeing
it
it's
at
greater
fortinox.com-
and
you
can
see
that
and
it's
built
by
proximity
to
the
post
and
it
highlights
each
region
and
their
proximity
to
the
post,
also
working
with
our
friends
at
fort
knox
and
human
resources
command,
we
created
the
first
ever
military
spouse
employment
initiative,
there's
other
folks
that
have
done
this
now.
But
what
this
allows
a
military
spouse
before
ever
even
coming
to
the
region
can
go
to
the
kentucky
career
center.
H
We
partnered
with
with
knox
in
the
lane
control
area,
development,
district
and
the
kentucky
career
center,
and
they
can
see
what
jobs
are
there.
They
can
reach
out
to
to
have
a
counselor
help
them
with
resume
development
and
beth
created
a
network
of
community
people
to
be
community
connectors,
and
so
we
can
connect
them
with
the
business
sector
that
they're
interested
in
and
they
can
have
somebody
that
can
be
prepared
to
receive
them
and
have
a
copy
have
a
cup
of
coffee
with
that
military
spouse
before
they
get
here
and
we've
also
worked
with.
H
As
lance
was
talking
about
ectc,
we
created
the
coding
academy
with
them.
They
created
the
coding
academy.
We
brought
the
need
to
them
and
help
them
develop
with
contractors,
empty
positions
on
fort
knox,
all
the
time
in
the
contract
and
the
government,
civilian
jobs,
side
for
commute
computer
contractors
or
or
computer
code
developers,
and
so
ectc
created
the
coding
academy,
which
teaches
the
java
certificates
and
sec
plus
and
those
skills
that
are
necessary
for
those
jobs.
H
They've
run
two
classes
getting
ready
to
do
a
third
and
those
folks
are
sought
after
by
contractors
in
the
region,
with
contracts
on
fort
knox,
and
eventually
those
folks
will
fill
those
gs
positions
as
well
and,
of
course,
we
we
market
fort
knox,
with
with
our
political
leadership
and
with
with
leaders
around
the
country.
H
When
we
go
to
different
defense
community
con
conferences,
we
talk
about
fort
knox
and
and
things
that
we're
working
there,
colonel
brian
touched
on
it
a
little
bit
but
I'll
go
expand
on
fort
knox's
regional
impact,
that's
2.6
billion
dollars
that
fort
knox
injects
into
the
economy.
Now,
really
that
is
worldwide
contracts,
but
they
all
do
come
through
fort
knox.
Colonel
bryan
talked
about
the
nature
of
recruiting
command
and
hrc.
H
Those
are
worldwide
organizations,
but
750
million
dollars
in
payroll
stays
right
here
in
the
greater
fort
knox
region
prior
to
covid,
as
you
all
know,
as
well
as
I
do,
or
better
that
impacted
the
jobs
still
22
000
jobs,
pretty
much
on
post.
The
department
of
defense
wasn't
affected,
but
that
13,
indirect
jobs
off
the
installation
has
been
impacted.
H
But
as
we
come
out
of
the
pandemic,
I
I
think
that
we'll
see
that
to
pre-pandemic
levels
and
maybe
even
better
the
the
points
that
I
really
want
to
dig
into
a
little
bit
here
and
colonel
brian
touched
on.
It
is
fort
knox
strategic
importance.
The
army's
number
one
priority
is
people
and,
as
colonel
o'brien
said,
without
fort
knox,
there
are
no
people
recruiting
command
cadet
command
human
resources
command.
All
those
commands
that
generate
force
and
maintain
the
force
in
the
army
are
located
here.
So
without
knocks.
There
is
no
people.
H
There
are
four
core
headquarters:
four
three
star
headquarters
in
the
army,
and
one
of
them
happens
to
be
here
at
fort
knox
raging,
raising
the
strategic
importance
of
fort
knox
and
colonel
o'brien
touched
on
first
theater
sustainment
command.
First
interesting,
sustainable
command
is
the
sustainers,
the
joint
sustainers
for
the
entire
middle
east
theater
of
operations,
headquartered
here
and
always
has
soldiers
deploying
and
redeploying
a
little
bit
about
the
nature
of
defense
communities.
We
are
all
competing
for
the
same
opportunities
and
the
same
defense
dollars.
H
While
each
may
offer
something
a
little
different,
a
little
different
advantages
and
disadvantages.
H
Everybody
is
working
for
those
same
things
and
all
working
to
be
recognized,
though
we
do
have
some
unique
advantages
here
in
kentucky
and
in
fort
knox
in
particular,
dod.
The
department
of
defense
has
has
released
several
studies
on
the
impacts
of
climate
change
on
military
installations
and
fort
knox
is
not
impacted
by
climate
change.
That's
a
really
big
thing
to
be
able
to
have
your
region
not
impacted
by
climate
change.
Cost
of
living
here
is
advantageous.
H
Quality
of
life
here
is
exceptional
and,
as
colonel
o'brien
talked
about,
the
range
facilities
on
fort
knox
are
first
class
with
no
restrictions,
and
so
those
of
you
that
may
have
a
military
background
may
know
that
there
are,
you
know
fort
benning,
fort
bragg.
They
all
have
environmental
restrictions
on
their
training
area,
whether
it's
the
red-cockaded
woodpecker,
the
woodland
turtle,
whatever
it
is
fort
knox,
has
no
such
restrictions.
H
They
did
have
one
time,
the
indiana
bat,
but
they
built
bat
houses
outside
of
the
training
area
to
to
move
that
population,
so
unrestricted
training,
and
I
cannot
stress
how
important
important
that
is
in
just
the
space
by
itself.
H
He
touched
on
on
housing.
They
are
building
housing
on
fort
knox
and
we
do
have
communities
that
have
heard
the
call
for
housing
from
fort
knox
and
there
are
communities
that
are
working
to
build
three
and
four
bedroom
homes
here
in
the
greater
fort
knox
region,
because
right
now
and
I
actually
live
in
in
jefferson
county
myself-
I
don't
mind
the
commute,
but
there
are
soldiers
that
could
not
find
housing
in
the
military
housing
area.
I
H
Unfortunately,
the
project
wasn't
approved
through
the
dsip
grant,
but
we
are
working
some
other
avenues
to
get
that
there
vehicle
sales
tax.
So
this
is
one
that
I
just
want
to
discuss
and
when,
when
I
was
on
active
duty
you
know
I
paid
to
register
my
vehicle
and
if
I
didn't
pay
sales
tax
someplace
else,
I
had
to
pay
the
sales
tax
here
and
then
you
know
I
didn't
have
to
pay
ad
valorem
tax
every
year.
So
I
would
be
clear
we
are
not
trying.
H
I
am
not
advocating
that
soldiers
not
pay
the
registration
fee.
What
I'm
advocating
for
is,
if
I
buy
a
vehicle
in
texas
and
then
move
to
kentucky
texas
doesn't
charge
me
sales
tax
and
I
get
here
to
kentucky
and
I
have
to
pay
all
that
sales
tax
just
to
register
my
vehicle.
Had
I
bought
that
vehicle
in
kentucky.
H
I
wouldn't
have
paid
sales
tax
and
you
don't
collect
ad
valorem
tax
every
year
on
on
that
vehicle.
So
I
just
think
it's
it
to
me
almost
disconnected
in
the
fact
that
if
I
buy
it
here,
I
don't
pay
sales
tax.
You
don't
charge
me
out
of
alarm
tax.
This
is
active
duty
soldiers
only.
But
if
I
move
here
I
have
to
pay
all
the
sales
tax
or
whatever
portion
I
didn't
pay,
and
that
may
not
sound
like
a
lot.
H
But
you
know
if
you're,
a
young
soldier
and
you're
in
europe
or
you're
in
texas
or
you're
in
a
place,
that's
not
going
to
charge
sales
tax
and
you
buy
a
nice
vehicle
and
you
get
here
and
you
may
get
hit
with
a
3
000
fee
when
you
register
your
vehicle,
you
have
to
pay
sales
tax
and
unfortunately,
that's
driving
some
soldiers
to
go,
get
army
emergency
relief
grants
to
be
able
to
to
pay
that
now.
I've
discussed
this
with
with
representative,
tate
and
representative
tate
is
is
championing
this
cause.
H
Unfortunately,
I
don't
know
the
true
impact
to
the
commonwealth.
I
don't
know
how
much
sales
tax
is
collected
from
active
duty
soldiers
when
they
come
to
register
that,
and,
unfortunately
I
have
no
way
of
of
determining
that.
But
again
I
appreciate
representative
tate
taking
that
one
on
and
the
retirement
pay
in
income
tax.
H
I
feel
a
little
funny
talking
about
this
one,
because
this
is
one
that
would
benefit
me
directly,
but
it
is
a
talent
attraction
thing
for
the
commonwealth,
particularly
to
our
brothers
and
sisters
at
fort
campbell
right
along
that
tennessee
border,
but
casey
may
has
been,
has
been
working
on
this
for
for
a
long
time,
and
it
really
is
a
talent,
attraction
and
retention
when
there
are
other
places
that
they
can
go
and
again,
particularly
at
fort
campbell,
and
with
that.
A
We
have
six
more
items
on
the
agenda,
so
our
time
is
slipping
away.
I
would
ask
that
the
next
presenters
try
to
limit
their
presentation
to
ten,
no
more,
no
more
than
15
minutes,
and
we
would
like
to
have
time
for
questions.
So
does
anyone
have
any
questions
of
regarding
this
first
presentation,
representative,
scott.
B
Thank
you,
mr
chairman
general.
I
understand
about
the
vehicle
sales
tax
because
when
I
retired
and
I
moved
back
to
kentucky,
I
got
hit
with
that
pretty
hard.
So
I'm
going
to
be
looking
for
representative,
tate
and
working
with
her
everywhere.
I
can
to
help
out
the
active
duty
soldiers
on
that,
and
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
for
your
service
and
let
you
know
I,
I
understand
the
vehicle
sales
tax
issue.
D
If
not
generally,
cocoa
and
colonel
brian,
we
appreciate
y'all
both
being
here
and
even
though
it
was
virtual,
but
general
iacocca
we've
you
and
I
have
seen
each
other
quite
a
bit
recently
so
good
to
see
you,
sir
all
right,
we'll
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
next.
We
have
a
u.s
army
corps
of
engineers.
We
have
brandy,
brandon,
brummett
louisville.
Is
he
here
in
person
or
on
online?
There
he's
on
zoom,
I'm.
D
E
Sure,
well,
first
off
thanks
for
for
having
the
corps
of
engineers,
louisville
district
be
able
to
present
to
you
guys
this
morning,
I'll.
Try
and
my
wife
always
says
that
sometimes
I
talk
too
fast,
so
I'll
try
and
continue
that,
but
not
go
so
fast.
That
people
can't
understand
me
to
try
and
keep
us
on
schedule,
because
I
myself
this
is
the
first
of
three
webinars
I'm
doing
today
and
every
one
of
them
on
a
different
platform.
E
So
just
the
fact
that
I
could
get
my
slides
up
is
is
already
made
my
day,
but
thank
you
all
very
much
on
behalf
of
our
commander,
colonel
crispino,
I'm
I'm
presenting
for
the
louisville
district,
proud
to
do
that.
Unfortunately,
he
couldn't
make
it
today,
we're
not
quite,
I
think,
we're
eight
days
away
from
from
our
fiscal
year
ending,
and
so
it's
a
very
busy
time
for
us
in
the
louisville
district,
so
without
further
ado
I'll
kind
of
get
going
here.
E
First
off,
when
I
talk
to
people
about
the
corps
of
engineers,
I
just
like
to
show
them
this
slide
to
show
where
the
corps
of
engineers
offices
are
located
and
and
as
you
can
see,
it's
really
worldwide.
So
a
lot
of
people
don't
realize
that
we've
got
folks
literally
all
over
the
world.
E
So
I
also
tell
people
a
little
bit
about
how
we're
organized
we
are
a
federal
agency
but
we're
under
the
department
of
defense,
so
we're
kind
of
a
strange,
hybrid
agency,
unlike
a
lot
of
other
federal
agencies,
that
folks
would
work
with
at
each
level
we're
headed
up
by
military
officers.
E
E
He
reports
to
colonel
kimberly
peoples
who
just
assumed
command
of
our
great
lakes
and
ohio
river
division,
which
is
located
in
cincinnati,
ohio
and
then
she
reports
to
lieutenant
general
spellman
at
headquarters
in
washington
dc,
and
you
can
see
pictures
of
all
those
fine
folks
here
on
the
on
the
screen.
E
But
if
you'll
notice,
the
top
box,
there
is
blank
and
that's
because
we're
still
awaiting
confirmation
of
the
assistant
secretary
of
the
army
for
civil
works,
which
is
a
political
appointee
and
typically,
whenever
there's
a
change
in
administration,
we
get
a
change
in
the
assistant
secretary
of
the
army
for
civil
works,
so
hopefully,
here
before
too
long
I'll
have
a
picture
of
somebody
to
put
in
that
that
box
too.
E
But
the
one
thing
I
always
tell
folks
is:
if
you've
got
a
question
about
something
that's
going
on
with
the
corps
of
engineers,
it's
best
to
start
at
the
district
level,
because
that's
generally,
where
most
of
the
action
is
happening,
that's
where
the
contracts
are
being
awarded.
That's
where
the
designs
are
getting
done.
That's
where
we're
meeting
with
stakeholders.
E
So
I
always
tell
people
to
go
straight
to
the
to
the
horse's
mouth
and
start
with
the
at
the
you
at
the
louisville
district
level.
So
a
lot
of
folks
have
asked
us,
as
you
can
see,
we've
got
almost
1200
district
employees,
most
of
whom
are
civilians.
Some
of
the
projects.
We
do
take
a
a
pretty
long
time
to
get
done
because
they're
large
projects,
so
people
ask
us
well
with
your
with
your
leadership
rotating
in
every
two
to
three
years.
How
do
you
maintain
that
continuity?
E
And
it's
the
other
folks,
you
see
on
this
slide
here?
Most
of
them
have
worked
from
the
for
the
corps
of
engineers
for
a
majority
of
their
careers,
some
of
them
as
long
as
40
years.
I
myself
have
worked
for
the
corps
of
engineers
for
almost
26
years,
so
we're
able
to
help
provide
that
stabilizing
force,
as
our
leadership
is
changing.
E
So
when
we
talk
about
the
core
of
engineers
in
kentucky-
and
hopefully
the
colors
come
through
on
this
slide.
If
you
look
in
far
eastern
kentucky,
there's
kind
of
a
pinkish
color
there,
that's
the
part
of
the
district
that
the
huntington
district
out
of
west
virginia
manages
the
the
part
that
encompasses
the
the
larger
portion
of
the
commonwealth
is
the
louisville
district
which,
which
is
where
I
work
and
then
in
southeastern
and
southwestern
kentucky.
E
So
some
of
the
things
that
we
do
out
of
the
louisville
district
most
folks
are
familiar
with
our
civil
works
missions.
You
know,
we've
got
a
lot
of
lake
projects,
locks
and
dams.
We
support
the
our
military
customers,
colonel
colonel
o'brien,
you,
you
spoke
on
several
projects
that
I
I
think
were
joined
at
the
hip
with
you
guys
on.
So
it's
always
good
to
hear
about
progress
there.
We
do
support
the
us
army,
the
u.s
air
force,
the
u.s
army
and
the
air
force
reserve,
our
army
reserve
and
the
air
force
reserve.
E
We
support
other
federal
agencies,
epa,
fema,
other
federal
agencies.
We
support
the
va
for
those
of
you
guys,
which
I'm
sure
you
have
been
paying
attention.
Just
last
month
the
the
contract
was
awarded
840
million
dollar
contract
to
build
a
new
va
medical
center
right
here
in
louisville,
and
that
that's
a
personal
project
that
I'm
excited
to
see
because
my
dad's,
a
veteran,
was
served
in
the
u.s
army
and
he
he
goes
to
the
va
for
for
a
lot
of
his
medical
appointments.
E
So
it'll
be
nice
to
see
him
get
a
nice
new
facility
to
to
work
with.
So
we're
excited
about
about
doing
that
project.
We
have
environmental
missions,
formerly
used
defense
sites,
installation
remediation
base,
realignment
and
closure.
We
do
a
lot
of
emergency
management
work.
We
do
real
estate
work,
so
colonel
o'brien
talked
about
you
know
is
the
recruiting
command
is.
Is
there
if
you
go
out
to
a
shopping,
mall
or
a
strip
mall
and
see
a
armed
forces
recruiting
center?
E
Generally,
our
louisville
district
had
a
hand
in
and
help
him
get
that
lease
there
so
kind
of
a
neat
mission
to
be
involved
with
we're
just
finishing
up
fy21
and
so
so
we're
kind
of
waiting
on
what
the
final
pie
chart
is
going
to
look
like.
But
this
is
our
fiscal
year
22
total
program
so
we're
looking
at
at
a
total
program
within
the
louisville
district
totaling
over
1
billion
dollars.
E
E
We
have
a
civil
works
mission,
an
environmental
mission
and
then
the
iis
stands
for
international
interagency
services,
which
is
generally
the
work
we're
doing
for
the
va
and
folks
are
going
to
say
well
you're
you're,
building
this
new
hospital.
How
come
that's
only
showing
you
know
a
small
amount
for
iis
and
that's
because
if
you
would
look
at
our
pie
chart
for
this
year
that
that
contract
was
awarded
so
it
it
got
put
into
this
year.
E
And
last
week
I
checked
with
our
contracting
officer,
which
now
is
the
the
time
of
year,
where
their
hair
is
on
fire
because
they're
so
busy,
but
she
said:
they're
anticipating
having
over
2200
contract
actions
awarded
in
fiscal
year,
21
with
a
total
an
amount
of
contracts
of
over
1.38
billion
dollars.
E
So
by
the
end
of
next
week,
that's
what
we're
looking
to
to
have
targeted
for
this
fiscal
year.
So
that's
a
whole
lot
of
economic
impact.
That's
coming
out
of
the
louisville
district!
So
talking
about
our
civil
works
missions.
Here
you
can,
you
can
see
the
district
boundaries
here.
People
ask
me
who
drew
those
boundaries
and
it's
really
mother
nature,
basically,
whatever
drains
into
the
lower
ohio,
is
in
the
louisville
district.
E
So
we
cover
a
good
chunk
of
indiana,
most
of
kentucky
part
of
ohio
and
and
a
good
chunk
of
illinois
as
well.
When
you
talk
about
civil
works,
that's
what
folks
think
about
when
they,
they
think
army
corps
of
engineers,
a
lot
of
times,
they'll!
Think
about
our
flood
risk
management
missions,
whether
it's
our
lakes,
our
levees,
they'll,
think
about
our
navigation
mission
with
our
locks
and
dams.
And
you
know
when
you
think
about
our
lakes.
E
Not
only
are
they
a
flood
risk
management
project,
which
is
what
they
were
primarily
built
for,
they
also
have
an
important
economic
driver
with
them
from
the
recreational
visits.
So
just
some
of
those
economic
numbers,
our
flood
risk
management
projects
have
provided
over
1.4
billion
dollars
in
flood
damages
reduced
since
their
inception
in
the
comp
to
the
commonwealth
of
kentucky.
E
Our
navigation
industry
is
over
three
billion
dollars
in
benefits
and
our
lake
projects
average
over
16
million
visitors
per
day
or
visitor
days
per
year
in
the
commonwealth
of
kentucky,
and
that
leads
to
almost
800
million
dollars
of
spending
within
30
miles
of
the
lakes
and
when
you
compile
all
that
together
and
figure
out
the
economic
jobs
created
each
year,
our
lake
projects
in
the
commonwealth
of
kentucky
generate
over
8
000
jobs.
So
that's
pretty
significant
when
you
look
at
our
military
boundaries.
E
They're
the
boundaries
are
a
lot
easier
to
see
it's
just
state
boundaries.
So
we
support
the
military
installations
in
kentucky
illinois,
ohio,
michigan,
indiana,
so
scott
air
force
base,
wright-patterson
air
force
base,
we're
doing
some
work
at
the
crane
naval,
surface
warfare
center
and,
of
course,
fort
knox
and
fort
campbell
and
kentucky
so
a
lot
of
work
there
and
we're
always
proud
to
to
do
what
we
can
to
support
our
our
our
armed
forces
there
by
building
them
new
facilities,
whether
it's
housing,
whether
it's
elementary
schools,
whether
it's
the
hrc
itself.
E
You
know
we're
always
proud
to
to
handle
those
missions,
but
over
the
years,
our
familiarity
with
building
those
those
facilities
for
the
military
allowed
us
to
pick
up
a
couple
of
optional
customers,
and
these
are
nationwide
missions.
So
we
handle
nationwide
design
and
construction
for
the
army
reserve
and
the
air
force
reserve.
So
you
can
kind
of
see
our
army
reserve
program
numbers
here.
You
know
quite
a
quite
a
bit
of
work
coming
on
through
there
and
we're
always
glad
to
do
that.
E
When
you
go
in
the
the
one
of
the
gates
there
at
fort
knox,
you
can
look
off
and
see
a
army
reserve
center.
That
was
one
of
the
projects
that
we
were
in
charge
of
getting
built.
I
myself
worked
on
this
mission
several
years
ago,
and
most
of
my
projects
were
strung
out
all
over
the
country,
my
wife's
glad
that
I'm
home
a
little
more
now
than
what
I
was
back
then
because
I
was
I
was
literally
all
over
the
country
and
on
any
given
day.
E
But
similarly,
our
air
force
reserve
program
is
also
a
large
mission
for
us,
and
those
are
customers
that
we
don't
take
lightly
because
they
didn't
have
to
come
to
the
louisville
district.
E
They
could
have
could
have
done
work
with
whoever
they
wanted
to
from
the
corps
of
engineers
or
not
even
necessarily
use
the
corps
of
engineers,
but
they
really
liked
the
way
that
we
worked
with
our
military
customers
and
and
our
other
partners,
and
so
they
came,
they
went
to
our
headquarters
and
and
basically
lobbied
on
our
behalf.
That
said,
hey
we
want
louisville
district
to
to
be
in
charge
of
all
of
our
projects.
E
Now
we
do
partner
with
the
local
geographic
districts
to
provide
that
boots
on
the
ground
construction
support,
but
we're
very
proud
of
those
missions,
as
we
are
our
regular
military
missions
and
our
civil
works
missions,
because
we're
really
able
to
help
out
a
whole
lot
of
people.
You
hear
the
old
adage
where
people
say
well,
I'm
from
the
government
and
I'm
here
to
help
and
people
kind
of
kind
of
tuck
and
run
when
they
hear
that,
but
in
reality
that
that's
really
what
the
corps
of
engineers
is
about.
E
We're
here
to
help
people
and
with
that
we
always
say
that
we're
louisville
proud.
You
can
see
some
photos
of
some
of
our
projects
there
and
and
a
lot
of
our
good
people
within
the
district
doing
great
things,
and
with
that
I'll
hush
and
and
answer
any
questions
you
guys
may
have.
D
All
right,
thank
you.
We
appreciate
the
great
presentation
and
and
very
quick
and
informational
there.
So
thank
you
for
doing
that.
We
do
have
one
question
representative,
blanton,.
B
Thanks,
mr
chairman,
mr
brummett,
thank
you
for
your
presentation.
Today.
I've
got
a
question
that
may
be
more
fitting
for
the
huntington
district,
but
just
a
general
overall
question,
with
the
army
corps
of
engineers
controlling
most
of
our
our
lakes,
especially
in
eastern
kentucky,
or
are
under
the
management
of
the
corps
having
traveled
and
fished
on
lakes
from
alabama
to
new
york.
E
Sure,
and
really
each
one
of
our
lakes
typically
has
a
overall
master
plan,
and
when
we
do
those
master
plans
there,
they
they
kind
of
give
a
20
to
25
year
outlook
for
what
we
envision.
The
the
activity
around
the
lake
and
at
the
lake
is
going
to
be,
and
that
goes
for
not
just
the
lakes
in
eastern
kentucky
but
all
of
our
reservoirs,
and
we
are
we're
in
the
process
of
updating
quite
a
few
of
those
master
plans
not
only
within
the
louisville
district,
but
also
within
the
huntington
district.
E
And
so
you
know
we're.
We
welcome
those
type
of
of
conversations
to
be
able
to
discuss
that.
Sometimes
the
operational
characteristics
of
the
lake
having
to
do
with
flow
adjustments
and
things
like
that,
especially
when
you're
in
an
area
with
with
pretty
steep
terrain
that
water
can
come
up
pretty
quick.
So
you
know
folks
folks
may
not
realize
how
much
land
we
actually
need
to
operate
the
the
the
reservoirs
correctly
there,
but
but
we're
definitely
open
to
having
that
conversation.
E
I
know
that
jessica
and
logan
have
my
contact
information,
and
so,
if
you
want
to
just
shoot
me
a
email
or
something
like
that,
I
can
put
you
in
contact
with
with
our
operations
folks,
both
in
louisville
and
in
huntington
to
to
you
know
at
least
discuss
that
option
and
get
you
with
folks
who
are
a
little
more
familiar
with
the
situation
to
be
able
to
better
address
that
question
other
than
me
who's
kind
of
just
addressing
it
in
real
general
terms.
D
D
B
D
All
right,
thank
y'all
for
being
here
all.
D
Gonna
record
my
presence
and
we
all
right:
okay,
we're
gonna,
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
something
dear
to
to
my
heart
here,
so
us
army,
fort
campbell,
and
we
have
colonel
jordan,
our
garrison
commander
down
at
fort
campbell
and
miss
kelly,
pendleton
constituent
of
mine.
It's
always
good
to
see
both
of
y'all
and
I
believe
y'all
are
on
virtual.
Aren't
you
they
are,
and
if
you
don't
mind,
introduce
yourselves
just
for
the
record
and
then
please
proceed.
F
Good
morning,
my
name
is
colonel
andy,
jordan.
I'm
joined
this
morning
by
command
sergeant
major
joe
harbor,
my
right
arm
here
at
u.s
army,
garrison,
fort
campbell
and
also
to
my
left,
miss
kelly
pendleton,
our
civilian
aide
to
the
secretary
of
the
army
for
this
district,
as
well
as
our
one
of
our
leaders
in
the
campbell
strong
defense
alliance
group
that
that
that
provides
tremendous
support
to
fort
campbell,
both
for
our
military
service
members,
our
our
installation
and
their
their
families.
F
So,
first
off
thanks
lance
for
for
the
warm
intro
earlier,
and
I
think
we
do
have
a
great
relationship
between
our
two
installations.
We
we
receive
awesome
support
from
fort
knox
when
it
comes
to
training
opportunities.
F
We've
got
so
many
highly
deployable
units
here
at
fort
campbell
that
real
estate
wise
there
are
times
when
we
we
just
have
to
get
folks
someplace
to
train
and
fort
knox,
always
seems
to
have
their
doors
open
for
us
a
little
intro
about
myself.
My
my
history,
my
family's
history,
with
fort
campbell,
goes
back
to
the
early
2000s.
F
When
we
were
first
stationed
here
and
I
was
assigned
to
the
fifth
special
forces
group
at
the
very
beginning
of
the
war
and
and
just
like
lance
mentioned,
this
was
my
number
one
choice.
When
the
army
asked
me
where
I
wanted
to
come
command
as
a
colonel,
and
I
told
them
for
campbell
and
and
there's
there's
really
a
couple
of
reasons
for
that,
it's
an
awesome
place
to
to
live
and
work.
The
communities
that
surround
this
installation
are
second
to
none.
F
Out
of
the
many
many
places
that
I've
been
stationed
with
my
family
across
the
the
united
states.
There
is
truly
no
place
like
fort
campbell
people.
Ask
me
where
fort
campbell
is
located
and
kind
of
my
catch
phrases.
It's.
It
straddles
the
state
line
between
tennessee
and
kentucky,
and
it's
two
miles
down
the
road
from
the
promised
land,
and
I
truly
believe
that
there
is
there's
no
better
place
to
live
work
and
raise
your
family
than
right
here
in
fort
campbell
kentucky.
F
F
In
the
in
the
early
1980s,
president
reagan
developed
a
program
to
recognize
military
installations
in
each
branch
of
service
in
one
a
year
that
were
awarded
the
commander-in-chief's
annual
award
for
installation
excellence.
F
So
for
the
united
states
army
in
2021
for
work
done
in
2020,
the
president
recognized
fort
campbell
and
our
team
here,
as
the
most
outstanding
installation
in
the
united
states
army,
a
couple
of
things
that
that
really
made
that
happen.
Of
course,
fort
campbell
aligns
with
department
of
the
army
and
army
chief
of
staff
priorities
and
that's
people
first
readiness
and
modernization.
F
F
D
D
All
right,
we'll
just
we'll
deal
with
that,
I
don't
believe
we
we're
kind
of
seeing
some
of
your
your
slides
and
I
don't
think
those
are
ones
that
we
have
in
our
packet.
So.
F
Okay,
we'll
we'll
I'll
I'll
work
with
the
team
here
and
make
sure
you
guys
get
a
a
a
copy
of
the
slides
that
we're
presenting
that'd.
F
I
I
apologize.
The
the
era
of
virtualness
is
not
a
friend
to
any
of
us,
so
so
the
question
was
asked:
why
is
fort
campbell
important
to
national
security?
And
what
I
would
tell
you
is
that
fort
campbell
is
home
to
some
of
the
most
deployed
units
in
the
united
states
army,
especially
in
the
last
couple
of
decades
on
the
morning
of
september,
11
2001.
F
The
catch
phrase
has
always
been
that
that
when,
when
the
president
calls
the
the
phone
rings
at
fort
bragg
and
it
may
to
a
degree
but
I'll
tell
you
on
on
9
11
the
phone
rang
at
fort
campbell
kentucky,
you
had
elements
of
the
the
fifth
special
forces
group
and
the
160th
special
operations.
Aviation
regiment
within
days
of
911
were
deployed
into
the
af,
the
region
of
afghanistan,
and
they
were
followed
closely
by
third
brigade
task
force
rockets
on
of
the
of
the
101st
airborne
division.
F
So
so
truthfully,
the
war
that
we
just
ended
as
the
most
lengthy
war
in
our
nation's
history
was
was
led
by
units
directly
from
fort
campbell.
F
Prior
to
that,
the
101st
airborne
division
has
been
has
taken
part
in
every
operation,
since
the
divisions
formation
in
1942
to
include
world
war
ii,
korea,
vietnam
and
and
all
of
the
the
smaller
wars
in
the
80s
and
90s,
and
then,
of
course,
the
global
war
on
terror.
If
you
look
at
the
the
patch
worn
by
the
101st
up
there
with
the
the
eagle
old
abe,
old
abe
is
probably
the
most
recognized
patch
of
any
military
insignia
in
the
world.
F
So
just
just
a
little
bit
of
of
history.
Since
the
global
war
on
terror,
the
101st,
airborne
division
headquarters
and
its
subordinate
brigades
have
have
completed
more
than
40
deployments
in
defense
of
the
nation.
Those
those
deployments
typically
ranged
from
six
months
to
up
to
15
months
in
duration,
and
then,
when
you
look
at
the
160th
and
fifth
special
forces
group
due
to
the
uniqueness
of
their
mission,
sets
it's
a
little
difficult
to
to
ascertain
the
exact
number.
F
F
Thankfully,
in
the
last
several
months
after
multiple
back-to-back
rotations
in
afghanistan
and
syria,
iraq
and
other
places
within
the
central
command
area
of
responsibility,
all
of
four
campbell's
soldiers
are
home.
For
the
first
time
in
in
20
years,
all
of
the
all
of
the
brigades
are
home
from
the
101st
fifth
group
is
home
and
160th
is
home.
F
We
still
have
soldiers
out
on
training
opportunities
and
things
like
that
and
there's
approximately
700
soldiers
from
the
101st
airborne
division
that
are
deployed
in
the
continental
united
states
at
fort
pickett,
fort
lee
and
fort
mccoy
in
support
of
operation
allies,
welcome,
which
is
bringing
home
our
allies
from
from
afghanistan.
So
we're
still
playing
a
part,
but
but
that's
that's
a
a
great
thing
for
our
soldiers,
for
our
families
and
for
our
community
to
have
all
of
these
soldiers
home
for
the
first
time
in
20
years.
F
The
other
question
was
what
is
fort
campbell's
role
in
national
defense
and
fort
campbell
is
a
power
projection
platform
with
with
capabilities
to
support
multi-domain
operations.
We're
able
to
project
power
globally
when
called
upon
using
air
maritime
rail
and
roadways.
Fort
campbell's
airfield
is
one
of
the
country's
largest
conus
airfields
at
10
926
feet.
F
It
can
airlift
soldiers
and
equipment
direct
into
theater
and
any
aircraft
in
the
united
states.
Department
of
defense
inventory
can
land
at
at
fort
campbell
campbell
army
airfield.
F
Rail
is
a
primary
method
that
we
use
to
deploy
equipment
in
vehicles,
both
conus
and
oconus,
and
then,
of
course,
we've
got
a
barge
facility
on
the
cumberland
river,
which
ties
in
with
our
core
of
engineer
partners
and
then
roadways.
We've
got
easy
access
to
I-24,
I-65
and
I-40
next
slide.
Please.
F
So
how
does
fort
campbell
impact
and
support
kentucky
or
go
ahead?
I'm
going
to
skip
through
this
next
slide
it
just
if
you
you
have
it
in
your
packet.
It
gives
some
specifics
on
just
land
use
number
of
ranges
and
things
like
that,
but
in
the
in
the
essence
of
time
I'll
skip
on
to
you
should
have
a
slide.
F
That
says
the
impact
of
fort
campbell
fort
campbell
has
a
an
active
duty
population
of
about
27
000
soldiers
about
20
000
of
those
belong
to
the
101st,
airborne
division
and
the
other
7
000
belong
to
tenant
organizations
on
the
installation,
such
as
this
special
forces
group,
the
160th
special
operations,
aviation
regiment,
552nd,
eod
brigade,
531st
hospital
this
and
the
716th
mi
battalion
fort
campbell
also
supports
a
population
of
family
members
and
about
50
000
about
6
000
civilians
come
to
work
on
fort
campbell
every
day
and
those
are
department
of
the
army,
civilians
and
we
have
contract
employees,
military
retirees
in
the
region,
number
about
70,
000
and
then
just
a
hair
over
90
000
retiree
family
members
remain
in
the
region.
F
Why
why
I
give
you
all
those
numbers?
Is
the
the
total
supported
population
of
fort
campbell
is
just
shy
of
250
000
people
that
that
includes
the
the
students
that
go
to
our
school
districts?
That
includes
retirees
and
spouses
that
make
up
a
good
portion
of
our
employee
base
in
the
region
for
a
total
economic
impact
on
on
this
region?
F
And
if
you
look
at
my
slide,
it
says
in
tennessee,
and
that
is
that
slide
was
that
that
economic
impact
statement
was
was
done
by
the
center
for
economic
development
and
or
economic
research
in
tennessee
in
2019.
So,
but
if
you
look
at
the
overall
region
there
that
we
cover
fort
campbell
has
an
economic
impact
of
10.1
million
or
1
billion
dollars
on
the
on
the
tennessee
kentucky
region.
Trigg
county
christian
county
stewart-
montgomery.
F
F
We
we
had
contracts
in
in
kentucky
to
to
kentucky
contractors
in
fy
20
that
that
amounted
to
about
85
little
just
a
little
over
85
million
dollars
in
in
contracts
to
to
kentucky
businesses
slide
please
what
does
fort
campbell
need
from
kentucky
to
achieve
its
potential
and
show
the
the
legislature
or
that
how
the
legislature
can
help
and-
and
I
would
say
that
one
of
the
the
main
things
let's
see.
What
slide
are
we
on
I'm
going
to
skip
this
one?
F
You
have
that
I'm
going
to
skip
the
next
one
and
go
down
to
the
yup
go
down
to
that
slide.
Please.
So
one
thing
that's
really
unique
about
fort
campbell
is
that
about
31
of
the
of
the
soldiers
that
that
leave
the
service
from
fort
campbell
decide
to
stay
in
this
region.
That's
that's
above
the
army
average
by
seven
percent.
F
So
and
that's
a
that's
a
true
testament
to
to
our
communities
with
that
being
said,
you're
looking
at
a
an
employee
base
of
between
4
500
and
500
soldiers
that
leave
the
service,
whether
those
are
first-term
soldiers
or
retirees
every
year
that
that
can
go
directly
into
your
into
your
local
businesses
and
into
the
local
economy
to
provide
a
ready
and
able
workforce
that
is
goal-oriented,
they're
trained
in
leadership.
They
know
how
to
be
at
the
right
place
at
the
right
time
in
the
right
uniform
so
in.
F
In
my
opinion,
they
they
would
be
considered
model
employees.
So
we
we
push
about
55
4
500
to
5500
a
year
out
of
here
and
of
the
of
those
31
automatically
stay
in
the
region.
There's
about
another
20
that
we
assess
to
be
flexible
on
where
they
stay
and
opportunities
that
could
be
provided
by
the
state
by
the
commonwealth
of
kentucky
could
could
heavily
influence
that
other
that
other
twenty
percent.
F
One
thing
that
we
do
have
here
fort
campbell
to
assist
our
soldiers
and
family
members
as
they
transition
out
of
the
the
military
is.
We
have
a
really
robust
soldier
transition
program
and
spouse
employment
program
that
that
provide
opportunities
and
can
become
that
connective
tissue
between
the
soldier,
the
family,
member
and
and
potential
employers.
F
F
We
can
also
do
that
with
with
spouses
in
in
the
era
of
remote
ability.
F
I
think
that
our
military
spouses
are
a
great
opportunity
for
for
employers
to
look
at
as
as
far
as
a
a
labor
pool
that
is
looking
for
employees
that
that
are
motivated
looking
for
work,
but
have
essentially,
in
the
past,
been
kind
of
looked
over
because
they're
married
to
a
soldier
and
that
soldier
is
going
to
do
a
permanent
changes
station
every
two
to
three
years.
F
So
I
would
really
would
really
like
to
have
some
of
your
folks
come
down
and
visit
our
career
program,
our
spouse,
employment
program
and
and
look
at
ways
that
that
we
can
partner
with
organizations
like
the
kentucky
department
of
labor
and
and
other
organizations
within
the
commonwealth.
F
So,
barring
any
questions,
I
know
we're
short
on
time,
but
I
would
like
to
pass
it
over
to
miss
kelly,
pendleton
and
and
just
give
a
shout
out
to
her
for
all
the
the
excellent
work
that
she
does
with
the
community
to
support
soldiers
and
families
here
at
fort
campbell.
Thank
you.
I
Yeah,
let's
see,
if
I
can
get
this
to
go
away,
then
I
can
okay,
you
see
it.
Can
you,
can
you
see
the
slides
I'll,
try
to
get
it
big
here
in
a
second.
D
Yeah
they're
they're,
similar
to
the
last
one
so
we'll
we'll
just
make
do
and
please
proceed
kelly
I
got
to.
We
got
to
try
to
squeeze
it
in
within
about
five
minutes.
If
you
don't
mind.
I
Okay,
well,
then,
I'm
gonna
go
quickly
through
here,
you've
heard
about
fort
campbell.
I'm
not
going
to
go
into
that.
Two
key
points
that
I
do
want
to
make,
though,
is
again
largest
employer
in
kentucky
is
fort
campbell
and
the
economic
impact.
You
just
heard
it
with
the
disbursements
about
5
billion,
but
really,
once
you
add,
those
multipliers
that
comes
it
to
about
10
billion
dollars.
Campbell
strong
is
similar
to
the
knox
regional
alliance
that
you
heard
from
general
iacocca.
I
Our
focus
is
really
supporting
existing
units
and
missions
at
fort
campbell.
We
are
advocating
for
modernization,
development
and
improvement
of
the
installation
and
attract
defense-related
companies
to
the
fort
campbell
region,
especially
in
those
aerospace
and
aviation
areas,
improve
improve
post-private
partnerships
and
connections
and
support
employment
and
transition
services
and
workforce
partnerships.
I
Those
are
a
few
of
our
successes.
Our
it
was
a
mechatronics
program
that
we
did
a
partnership
with
several
regional
colleges,
a
campbell,
strong
workforce
partnership
that
really
helped
connect,
transitioning
soldiers
and
spouses
into
the
workforce
and
and
again
recruiting
different
companies
to
the
area
and
support
a
future
vertical
lift
which
again
a
big
thanks
to
the
committee
for
letting
us
even
speak
to
you
today
and
to
you
representative,
thomas.
I
know
you
came
down
we're
part
of
the
the
the
state
resolution.
I
We
appreciate
the
state
very
much
passing
that
resolution
to
support
the
army's
modernization
efforts
of
aviation
assets.
That's
a
little
bit
of
what
that
looks
like
so
they're
still
they're,
still
in
deciding
which
prototypes
they'll
go
with
and
which
the
few,
but
that's
that's
a
glimpse
of
the
future
of
helicopters,
and
so
that's
something
that
plays
a
critical
role
here
at
fort
campbell,
given
our
aviation
components.
I
So
really
what
does
that
mean
for
all
of
you,
because
you're
not
down
here,
so
I'm
just
gonna,
I'm
gonna
skip
to
the
parts
that
really
apply
to
you.
You've
seen
this
before.
I
know,
representative
dosset
has
this
hanging
in
his
office.
I
hope
he
still
does.
That's
what
we're
looking
at!
That's
the
state
line
you
can
see
where
all
the
development
is
going
versus.
You
know
on
the
kentucky
side,
not
much
there,
so
kentucky
opportunities,
I'm
just
going
to
get
to
the
the
nuts
and
bolts
of
it
workforce.
I
So
companies
are
now
looking
they're,
where
they're
looking
and
where
they're
deciding
to
go
and
set
up
and
expand
really
depends
on
that
workforce.
They're
following
that
workforce,
there's
three
to
500
soldiers
that
transition
every
month
out
of
fort
campbell
it's
every
month
and
then
their
spouses
with
that
and
the
spouses
are
often
making
the
decisions
so
a
huge
talent
pool
to
to
pull
from
population
growth.
One
thing
that
I
hear
from
leadership
from
the
state
over
and
over
is
looking
for
population
growth
with
nashville
pushing
north
and
growing.
I
We
actually
have
five
to
seven
thousand
soldiers
less
than
we
did
ten
years
ago,
and
yet
the
congestion
is
ten
times
worse
because
it,
the
growth,
is
just
coming
that
urban
sprawl
from
nashville.
It
is
coming
north.
I
It's
a
great
opportunity
to
look
at
this
region
for
population
growth
and
workforce
and
invest
in
in
this
region,
so
multipliers
such
as
education,
investments
and
resources,
again
more
multipliers
that
come
with
those
numbers
as
you're
looking
at
what
does
that
soldier
or
that
veteran
or
that
retiree
bring
to
the
region
a
lot
more
than
just
his
person
or
her
person,
so
barriers
to
growth,
income
tax?
We
know
you
heard
general.
I
coca
speak
about
that.
I
think
I've
testified
before
you
all
about
four
times
on
that,
I'm
really
looking
at.
I
We
have
a
lot
of
commanders
down
here,
a
lot
of
soldiers.
They
are
exempt
as
long
as
they're
active
duty,
my
good
friend,
colonel
jordan.
Here
he
may
decide
to
live
in
kentucky
right
now,
but
as
soon
as
he
retires.
Actually
I
don't
talk
about
him.
My
good
friend
command
sergeant
major
harbor
who's
right
across
the
table.
Here
he
is
actually
getting
ready
to
retire.
I
He
lives
in
kentucky,
but
when
he
does
retire,
he
may
choose
to
go
two
miles
across
the
state
line
because
he
doesn't
he's
not
going
to
have
his
civilian
or
military
pay
taxed.
So
really
would
like
to
keep
working
towards
tax
reform
and
supporting
our
military
veterans
and
retirees
and
recruiting
them
to
our
commonwealth.
I
Second,
is
education
still
working
to
do
a
lot
more
in
education?
A
lot
of
times?
That's
one
of
the
top
deciding
factors
when
families
are
looking
to
relocate.
Three
is
housing.
A
few
years
ago
I
had
to
put
income
tax
and
education
at
the
top
housing
I
would
put
now
at
the
top.
The
demand
is
really
growing.
We've
heard
from
fort
campbell
leadership
and
and
the
garrison
over
the
last
couple
of
years
that
now
the
you
know,
tennessee
a
lot
of
times
is
outpacing
is
now
outpacing.
I
The
soldiers
allowance
housing
allowance,
so
they're
still
looking
for
additional
housing
that
meets
our
our
soldiers
needs
so
really
looking.
We
need
housing
across.
We
see
that
across
the
border
you
saw
in
todd
county.
There
was
a
huge
company
novelis
that
relocated
there
really
we're
trying
to
recruit
people
to
live
on
the
kentucky
side,
but
again
a
lack
of
housing
stocks.
So
that's
a
critical
component
that
we
need
to
figure
out
and
then
finally
is
workforce
opportunities.
I
So
again,
investing
in
this
region
recruiting
businesses
that
match
the
skill
sets
of
our
talent
and
the
soldiers
that
are
leaving
not
only
you
know,
and
that's
a
big
broad
gamut,
because
you've
got
folks
that
are
younger,
that
have
been
in
two
to
four
years
and
then
you've
got.
You
know
those
commanders
all
the
way
up
to
like
the
ones
you
just
heard
from
today
that
have
a
very
unique
skill
set
and
and
really
look
to
stay
in
the
region
because
of
the
low
cost
of
living
and
what
all
it
brings.
I
If
nothing
else
be
proud,
you
have
one
of
them.
You
have
some
amazing
assets
in
the
commonwealth,
you've
heard
from
fort
knox
and
bluegrass,
and
but
you
know,
the
101st
fort
campbell
is
home
to
the
101st
fifth
special
forces,
your
green
berets
and
some
of
the
most
elite
helicopter
pilots
and
programs
in
the
world.
I
So,
if
nothing
else,
if
you
haven't,
I
know
a
lot
of
you
have
been
down
here-
we're
happy
to
host
you
before
we'd
love,
to
host
you
again,
but
be
proud
that
you've
got
this
jewel
in
your
crown,
because
it's
it's
quite
remarkable
again,
you
know
the
fort
campbell
and
the
fort
knox.
Alliances
are
here
to
really
support
our
installations
and,
at
the
same
time,
support
the
commonwealth
and
the
opportunities
that
those
installations
bring.
Thank
you
again
for
your
time.
I
D
Kelly
and
colonel
jordan.
Thank
you
so
much
for
your
presentation.
We
always
love
having
you
up
in
person
and
but
I
know
it's
quite
the
drive
there.
So
we
appreciate
your
testimony.
Do
we
have
any
questions
by
any
of
the
members,
virtual
or
or
in
person.
D
Anyone
virtual
we're
good
well,
thank
you
all
so
much.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
and
we
will
go
ahead
and
move
on
and
we
have
in
person,
colonel
steve,
doris
and
if
you
all
want
to
come
on
up
and
and
if
you
have
please,
yes
have
a
seat,
these
microphones
have
a
little
button
right
there.
That
says,
push
just
make
sure
you
kick
that
on
and
and
please
introduce
yourself
for
the
record
and
please
proceed.
K
Good
morning
everybody
committee
chair
and,
ladies
and
gentlemen
of
the
committee,
I
appreciate
you
providing
me
the
opportunity
to
come
share
with
you
today
and
tell
you
a
little
bit
about
bluegrass
army
depot,
a
small
area
about
14
and
a
half
thousand
square
acres,
just
to
the
southeast
of
the
city
of
richmond
and
and
just
to
kind
of
give
you
an
opportunity
to
tell
a
story
of
what
we
look
like
today
currently
and
then
what
we're
going
to
transition
to
in
the
very
near
future
fy25
time
frame,
and
so
that,
as
your
constituents
across
the
state,
begin
to
hear
and
see
rumors
turn
into
reality,
you're
able
to
track
with
them
accordingly.
K
So
real
quick,
I
want
to
share
with
you
that
first
off,
do
you
have
access
to
my
slides?
Are
they
up?
I
don't
have
a
screen
facing.
Do
you
have
anyone.
D
That
can
maybe
sit
next
to
you.
Would
you
care
to
catch
slides
or
anything
for
them,
they're,
probably
loaded
on
that
far
laptop
okay?
Maybe.
K
While
they're
bringing
those
up
I'll
go
ahead
and
and
just
share
with
you
really
quickly
that
similar
to
to
campbell
we've
been
around
since
1941,
they
started
construction,
they
grabbed
a
patch
of
grass
and
decided
they
were
gonna,
put
a
organic
industrial
base
in
a
an
area
that
was
cow
country
of
madison,
county
and
so
1942
after
construction
was
completed.
They
opened
for
business
and
began
providing
munitions
and
material
support
in
support
of
the
war
effort
overseas.
K
K
Currently
we
generate
about
120
million
dollars
annually
and
then
there's
a
cost
or
an
expense
to
running
the
depot,
all
the
machines
paying
the
employees
providing
the
security,
the
utilities
et
cetera
that
go
along
with
that,
and
so
the
you
know,
once
you
subtract
out
those
expenses,
you
know
you
hope
to
be
operating
in
the
black
and
not
in
the
red,
because
over
time,
if
you
continue
to
operate
in
the
red,
what
eventually
happens
is
your
rates
to
your
customers
go
up
and
you
you
need
to
maintain
competitive
rates,
because
you
have
competition
to
your
left
and
to
your
right
within
the
organic
industrial
base.
K
And
so,
if
you
aren't
careful,
you
can
quickly
have
your
rates
become
uncompetitive
and
the
customers
out
there
will
take
their
businesses
elsewhere,
and
once
doing
so,
you
know
that
that
bodes
poorly
for
for
your
location,
yeah,
that
this
is
a
good
spot
here.
Thank
you.
K
Going
back
real
quick,
so
we
do
have
linkages
close
relationships
with
fort
campbell
and
fort
knox,
so
we
get
a
lot
of
support
from
both
of
those
locations.
K
I
don't
know
if
any
of
you
are
aware
that
I'll
go
back.
One
slide,
please
that
in
the
case
of
of
you
know
a
national
security
event,
we
have
the
only
remnants
of
chemical
material,
surety
materials
stored
at
bluegrass
army
depot,
all
the
the
nerve
agent,
the
entire
united
states
is
here
we're
working
very
quickly
to
get
rid
of
it.
K
In
fact,
I
think
the
vx
campaign
will
be
done
december
january
time
frame
and
we'll
only
have
gb
sarin
left
and
that
should
wrap
up
about
september
october
of
2022
and
once
that's
complete.
All
of
the
chemist
surety
material
at
bluegrass,
army
depot
will
go
away
and
we
will
meet
our
opcw
treaty
requirements.
Everybody
will
cling
some
champagne
glasses
and
be
very
happy
that
that
the
storage
of
that
chemist,
surety
material,
will
no
longer
be
a
requirement
here.
K
But
that
said
in
in
case
of
a
national
security
level
event,
like
a
september,
the
11th,
we
have
an
augmented
security
force.
That
actually
would
flex
from
fort
knox
kentucky
to
help
provide
exterior
security
at
the
depot
to
ramp
up
very
quickly
our
force
protection
conditions.
So
we
could
go
to
a
delta.
We
could
close
close
the
gates
and
and
have
a
very
militarized
presence
at
in
and
around
the
the
depot,
though
they
can
flex
their
the
ground
convoy
or
flex
there
via
ch47.
K
So
that's
a
prepare
to
deploy
order
that
hasn't
been
in
existence
since
2000,
and
we
exercise
that
that
unit
rotates
out
about
every
six
weeks.
We
also
share
a
energy
contract
with
fort
campbell
kentucky,
so
it's
about
a
50-year
long,
36
million
dollar
contract
wherein
the
two
of
us
get
our
maintenance
from
city
light
and
power,
and
and
have
a
sustainment
of
our
security.
K
Our
our
electrical
infrastructure,
provided
by
that
by
way
of
that
contract,
also
the
doom
so
think
of
cyber
support,
also
comes
from
from
the
servers
and
the
server
support.
That's
provided
there
at
fort
campbell
kentucky
fort
knox.
Is
you
know
right
down
the
road
about
110
miles
away?
They
provide
us
good
opportunities
as
well
for
a
lot
of
our
chaplain
support
service
soldier
service
support,
as
well
as
the
the
va
hospital
that
was
that
was
mentioned
earlier.
K
We've
got
one
in
lexington
and
then
we
have
some
of
our
vets
actually
seen
at
the
more
robust
capabilities
and
facilities
there
and
in
and
around
fort
knox
kentucky
us
army
corps
of
engineers.
They
come
and
look
at
our
bridges.
We've
got
bridges,
we've
got
dams
lakes,
we
have
relationships
with
them
and
they
come
inspect
those
they
do
all
the
construction
projects
and
all
the
environmental
cleanup
projects
that
we've
got
that
are
on
the
larger
scale
are
done
by
way
of
that
office
there
out
of
louisville
as
well.
K
So
with
that
I'd
like
to
go
ahead
and
transition
real
really
quickly.
So
strategic
support
is
what
we
provide
to
the
east
coast
to
the
united
states
of
america
and
what
we
provide
to
the
department
of
defense.
So
I'm
sure
most
you're,
aware
of
recent
events
in
afghanistan
about
a
third
of
that
ammunition.
K
Munition
support
came
from
a
bluegrass
army
depot
as
you
as
you
look,
where
we're
strategically
located
we're
too
far
north
for
the
hurricanes
to
get
you
too
far
north
to
be
in
hurricane
alley,
we're
on
the
western
side
of
the
appalachian
mountains
to
protect
us
for
any
sort
of
significant
emotional
events
from
earthquakes,
tidal
waves,
whatnot
and
we're
also
well
postured
to
be
able
to
get
to
most
of
the
power
projection
platforms
on
the
east
coast,
the
united
states
of
america
within
a
12
8
to
12
hour,
drive
most
of
the
munitions
support
that
departs
us
on
day-to-day
operations
leaves
via
truck,
and
we
have
a
very
robust
trucking
network
because
of
the
fact
of
the
I-75
I-64
corridor
straddles
just
or
intersects
just
north
of
where
we
are
strategically
located.
K
We
also
have
easy
access
to
rail.
We
have
about
40
miles
of
rail
infrastructure
and
a
major
rail
spur
that
connects
right
to
our
front
door.
So,
if
we're
moving
anything
to
a
seaport
to
fill
a
ship
up
full
of
ammunition,
that's
going
to
leave
the
rail
and
that's
an
easy
half
days
trip
for
us
most
of
your
air
force.
In
army
special
operations
ammunition
is
stored
at
bluegrass
army
depot.
K
So
if
there
is
a
a
quick
requirement
to
to
put
boots
on
ground
similar
to
as
previously
briefed
by
colonel
jordan
from
fifth
special
forces
group
third
special
forces
group,
some
of
our
joint
special
operations
command
elements,
their
ammunition
stores
and
stocks.
If
they
don't
have
them
on
hand,
will
flex
from
our
location-
and
we
also
have
non-standard
ammunition,
non-standard
ammunition
stocks
located
at
bluegrass
as
well.
K
So
if
we're
going
to
send
special
operators
into
a
foreign
country
to
do
foreign
internal
defense
and
they
need
to
have
ammunition
types
on
ground
ahead
of
time
to
learn
how
to
train
the
foreign
soldiers
with
that
foreign
material,
they
have
access
to
that
material
at
our
location
and
then
within
the
physical
security
bubble.
Because
of
the
chem
shirting
material
mission
that
we
have
at
bluegrass,
we
are
the
most
most
fort
knox-like
of
any
army
material
command
location.
K
So
we
we
have
three
concentric
layers
of
security
from
our
outside
gates
to
our
interior,
over
370
personnel
that
work
in
securing
that
chemistry,
material
and
this
14
500
acre
footprint
next
slide,
please.
K
So
these
are
kind
of
a
quick
understanding
of
our
core
competencies.
If
you
look
at
the
yellow
boxes,
you'll
kind
of
see,
speaking
to
what
I
just
briefly
made
mention
too,
so
we
have
strategic
outlook
capacity.
K
We
are
also
hire
headquarters
for
anniston
munitions,
center
co-located
at
aniston
army
depot
and
provide
command
and
control
and
budgeting
efforts
for
them.
Leadership,
guidance,
scranton,
army
ammunition
plan,
I'm
also
hire
headquarters
for
that
organization,
so
they
press
forge
and
finish
most
of
the
medium
diameter
155
projectiles
that
are
subsequently
then
load
assembled
and
packaged
at
our
at
iowa's
army,
ammunition,
plant
and
then
put
into
the
inventory.
You
see
there,
the
the
top
right.
We
talk
about
the
non-standard
army
ammunition,
but
to
the
green
boxes
there.
K
If
you
can
see,
we
also
have
were
selected
by
tank
and
automotive
command
and
army
sustainment
command
to
be
army,
pre-positioned
war
reserve
location.
So
when
you
look
at
the
east
coast,
west
coast,
united
states
of
america-
and
you
want
to
have
quick
access
to
150
man,
75-man
base
camps
that
you
can
quickly
put
onto
ships
quickly
put
onto
airframes
deploy
into
a
theater
these
boxes
pop
apart
and
suddenly
you
turn
and
you
take
these
cans
and
turn
them
into
small
cities.
K
We
are
the
third
largest
location
for
the
storage
of
those
capabilities
and
we
have
direct
customers
or
our
north.
In
case
we
were
to
have
contingency
requirements
here
within
the
continental
united
states,
as
well
as
army
central
command.
So
that
is
something
that
people
often
don't
don't
know
that
we
do
workload-wise
there
at
bluegrass
and
then
we
also
chem
defense
equipment.
K
If
there
is
a
joint
warfighter
wearing
a
js
list
suit,
an
m50
m40
protective
mask
atropine
injector
kit
that
comes
from
bluegrass
army
depot,
also
the
non-lethal
combat
equipment.
You
know
in
the
recent
past
we've
had
lots
of
civil
unrest
in
some
of
our
major
cities,
special,
especially
the
national
capital
region
of
late
that
riot
gear
quote-unquote
riot
gear
that
non-lethal
combat
equipment
it
emanated
and
generated
from
from
right.
There.
K
Bluegrass
army
depot
we
had
about
5
000
sets
of
that
equipment,
so
we
can
outfit
about
5
000
sets
of
those
personnel
with
the
storage
stocks
that
we
keep
and
maintain
there
under
under
lock
and
key.
You
see
the
the
bottom
boxes
there.
We
have
two
tenant
activities:
the
bluegrass
chemical
activity,
so
they
have
responsibility
for
storage
and
safe
securing
of
the
chem
surety
material
I
referenced
earlier,
and
then
you
have
the
bluegrass
chemical
agent
destruction
pilot
plant,
which
most
everybody
is
very
familiar
with
bg
cap.
K
They
are
the
the
rich
uncle
at
the
northern
side
of
the
installation
that
I
refer
to.
That
is
actually
tasked
with
providing
for
the
destruction
of
the
that
chem
surety
material.
K
All
total
bluegrass
army
depot
is
about
2
400
personnel,
once
the
bluegrass
chemical
activity
in
the
bluegrass
chemical
agent
destruction
pilot
plant,
both
of
those
missions
sunset,
like
I
said
in
the
fall
winter
time
frame
of
2024,
then
you're
going
to
have
left
about
550
personnel
at
at
bluegrass
army
depot.
So
you
see
the
top
number
there
770
769
da
civilians,
some
of
those
about
200
of
those
are
tied
to
that
security.
K
Firefighting,
emergency
services
mission
set
so
when
the
requirement
shrinks
for
that
level
of
security
that
level
of
fire
fighting
capability
so
will
the
some
of
the
numbers
of
those
da
civilians
that
currently
operate
on
the
plant.
So
when
it's
all
said
and
done
looking
forward
into
2024
and
beyond
all
things
being
equal
and
if
everything
stays
status,
quo,
you're
looking
at
a
footprint
from
2400
down
to
about
550
moving
forward
next
slide,
please
economic
impacts.
K
So
most
of
you
probably
seen
and
heard
made
mention
of
the
large
amounts
of
money
that
the
department
of
defense
by
way
of
peo
aqua
and
by
way
of
dod
c-sep
dollars,
have
pumped
into
the
the
ten
surrounding
counties
around
madison
county,
and
so
this
is
separate
and
distinct
from
that.
You
know
the
the
employees
that
that
work
there
in
support
of
bgca
and
bgcapp.
They
are
your
higher
paid
employees
within
the
madison
county,
the
average
pay
for
a
non-chemical,
related
employee.
K
There
you
see
it's
about
91
000
dollars
annually,
that's
a
fully
burdened
rate,
so
that
includes
all
their
thrift.
Savings
plans,
insurances
and
all
those
other
things.
So
you
see
just
depot
employees.
The
economic
impact
is
about
151
million
dollars
annually
there
for
the
depot
and
what
it
provides.
You
see.
K
We
have
a
large
amount
of
veterans
within
the
within
our
footprint
and
a
large
number
of
those
are
disabled
and
and
come
and
use
the
local
services
provided
to
them
in
madison
and
fayette
counties
for
their
for
their
long-term
medical
needs.
Next
slide,
please
so
moving
forward.
You
know
what
is
the
chief
of
staff
of
the
army?
K
What's
the
department
of
defense
kind
of
focused
on
right
now
is
so
we
know
at
some
point
we're
going
to
transition
away
from
legacy
systems,
the
m1
main
battle
tank,
the
m2
bradley
infantry
fighting
vehicle,
the
ah-64
attack
helicopter
ch-47,
troop
transport.
Those
things
are
going
to
go
away
and
we're
going
to
transition
into
new
capabilities,
new
platforms
of
the
future.
Well,
as
we
look
at
that,
what
are
those
capabilities
that
we
want
to
bring
here
to
to
the
commonwealth
so
that
we
can
do
that
maintenance
work?
We
can
do
that
production
work.
K
We
can
store
that
and
issue
that
and
distribute
that,
whether
it
be
ammunition
or
other
material
support.
That
is
what
we
are
spending
large
amounts
of
effort
and
time
right
now,
as
depot
leadership
working
to
to
achieve
in
conjunction
with
jmc
and
which
is
my
higher
headquarters
and
army
material,
command's
guidance
and
direction.
K
D
All
right
members
do
we
have
any
questions
for
colonel
doris
or
anyone
give
virtual
world
out
there
a
second
to
respond
to.
If
anyone
out
there.
B
Thank
you
for
your
presentation.
It's
very
informative,
as
you
make
this
transition
that
you're
talking
about
and
going
to
the
army
or
organic
industrial
base,
do
you
say
that
creating
additional
positions
to
replace
the
ones
you've
lost
or
will
be
losing
is?
Is
this?
K
From
regarding
that,
so
if
nothing
changes
2024
and
beyond
the
current
workload
that
we
have
capacity
to
support
right
now
is
a
footprint
of
about
550
personnel.
Sir.
If
we
gain
additional
workload,
additional
missions
that
that
we
can
workload
there
at
the
depot,
then
obviously
our
working
tda
can
change
and
we
can
increase
the
number
of
employees
that
are
working
there
at
the
depot.
You
know
our
footprint
changes
ebbs
and
flows
as
necessary
to
support
the
requirements
of
the
the
organic
industrial
base.
B
K
D
Mr
thank
you.
Do
we
have
any
other
comments
or
questions
all
right?
Gentlemen.
Thank
you
all
for
both
being
here
and
taking
the
time
and
this
rainy
day
we're
going
to
move
on,
because
we
only
have
about
25
minutes
left
here.
So
we're
gonna
pull
kentucky
environmental
foundation,
craig
williams.
I
think
he
might
be
out
there
in
virtual
world
with
us.
D
I
am.
Can
you
hear
me,
we
can
sir,
and
please
introduce
yourself
and
proceed.
J
Yes,
thank
you
so
much
good
morning.
Everyone,
my
name,
is
craig
williams.
I
am,
I
have
a
number
of
in
involvements
with
the
chemical
weapons
disposal
program
on
the
host
community
liaison
between
the
madison
county
governments
and
the
pentagon
on
the
program,
as
well
as
serve
on
the
governor's
commission
and
co-chair
the
citizens
advisory
board
with
the
county
judge
from
madison
county.
J
If
we
could
show
some
slides,
please.
D
Sir,
we
don't
have
any
you
didn't,
send
any
slides.
Do
you
have
them
on
your
computer,
where
you
can
share
the
screen
or
because
we
did
not
receive
any.
J
Okay,
well,
I
did
send
them
in,
but
I
don't
know
if
I
have
that
capacity
or
not.
D
Well,
that's,
that's,
okay,
can
you
just
go
ahead
and
give
your
testimony
and
we'll
make
sure
jessica
gets
him
out
to
all
members?
If,
if
we
get
him
there.
J
As
colonel
doris
mentioned,
we
are
in
the
process
of
moving
towards
closure
on
the
process
on
the
program
once
we
get
rid
of
the
rockets
that
are
stored
here,
the
current
status
is
we've
destroyed
about
158
tons
of
chemical
warfare
agent,
including
all
of
the
mustard
projectiles,
all
of
the
gb
projectiles
and
all
of
the
vx
projectiles
we're
currently
working
on
the
vx
rockets
and,
unfortunately,
two
days
ago,
operations
had
to
be
suspended
because
the
agreement
between
the
chemical
weapons
disposal
program
and
the
local
hospitals
require
that
the
hospitals
have
vacancies
in
order
to
assist.
J
Should
there
be
any
incidents
at
the
chemical
weapons
disposal
facility,
the
hospitals
are
now
full,
and
so,
with
that
criteria
not
being
able
to
be
fulfilled,
operations
at
the
plant
had
to
cease
temporarily
until
we
can
get
past
this
surge
from
the
coven
situation.
J
As
the
colonel
mentioned,
we're
on
track
to
be
completed
with
the
operation
somewhere
in
late
fall
early
winter
of
2023.
J
The
local
payroll
due
to
this
project
has
been
a
little
bit
over
one
billion
dollars
since
the
program
began
and
the
current
employment
right
now
at
the
operation
is
close
to
1500
people,
which
leads
me
to
the
one
of
the
emphasis
areas
we're
looking
at
right
now,
which
is
what
do
we
do
with
1500
high
paid,
highly
technical,
highly
technically
trained
and
importantly,
very
carefully
scrutinized
from
the
security
standpoint.
J
Those
areas
include
regional
supply
chain,
mapping,
economic
diversification
and
workforce
retention,
the
latter
of
which
is
our
real
primary
focus.
Is
we
don't
want
to
lose
obviously
1500
highly
paid
workers,
the
according
to
the
current
statutory
requirements,
for
what
do
we
do
with
the
infrastructure
once
the
facility
closes?
J
The
language
is
very
clear
that
the
all
of
the
facilities
have
to
be
either
decontaminated
and
destroyed
or
would
be
reused
had
they
not
been
affected
by
any
potential
chemical
warfare
agent.
The
decision-making
in
that
context
is
left
up
to
the
secretary
of
the
army
and
the
governor
of
the
state,
along
with
the
many
regulatory
offices
that
are
involved
in
making
sure
that
everything
is
environmentally
sound
before
it
transitions
into
some
other
use.
J
We've
been
honing
down
our
focus
on
what
equipment
may
stay
at
the
depot
in
order
to
further
its
primary
mission
or
to
attract
other
missions
into
the
depot
things
like
the
access
road
and
the
water
suppression
systems
and
all
of
the
utilities,
and
so
on
and
so
forth.
There
are
also
some
major
pieces
of
equipment
there.
There
are
two
what
they
call
static:
detonation
chambers,
which
are
enclosed
chambers
for
the
destruction
of
explosive
materials.
J
That's
what
I've
got
and
sorry
I
couldn't
have
the
slides
printed
up
presented
to
you,
but
I
appreciate
the
fact
that
general
bullet
invited
me
back.
J
We
can
see
the
light
at
the
end
of
the
tunnel
after
a
long
and
tedious
effort
to
continue
and
to
to
finalize
this
project,
and
we
will
be
the
last
site
in
the
united
states
of
america
to
dispose
of
their
chemical
weapons
stockpile,
and
once
that's
done,
we
will
all
be
celebrating
the
fact
that
the
united
states
no
longer
possesses
these
weapons
of
mass
destruction.
So
with
that
I'll.
Thank
you
very
much.
Take
any
questions.
D
Thank
you,
sir
appreciate
that
that
was
really
fascinating
and
it
just
shows
how
kovit
is
touching
every
everything
that
we're
doing
across
the
nation
and
and
for
you
to
have
to
suspend
that.
We
hope
that
resumes
quickly.
There
do
we
have
any
questions
by
any
of
the
members
or
anything,
and
we
did.
We
did
find
the
slides
they
kind
of
got
routed
a
different
direction,
but
we
will
be
sending
all
the
members
copies
of
the
slides
there
after
the
meeting.
Do
you
have
any
questions.
D
All
right,
you
did
a
great
job
explaining
there.
We
appreciate
it,
mr
williams,
very
much
and
we're
going
to
go
on.
We
got
two
more
present
presenters
and
I
think
we
can
get
here
pretty
close
to
time.
So
u.s
coat
guard
sector,
ohio
valley,
captain
amy
beach-
is
she
online
with
us.
L
I
am
yes,
sir,
good
morning
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
highlight
the
important
role
that
the
coast
guard
plays
in
the
safety
and
security
and
economic
prosperity
of
kentucky.
I
don't
have
any
slides
so,
unfortunately
you're
just
going
to
have
to
stare
at
me.
While
I
talk
currently,
we
have
almost
300
active
duty
members
assigned
163
reserve
18
civilian
coast
guard
employees
and
about
1
300
volunteer
coast
guard
auxiliary
members
that
work
for
the
coast
guard
sector,
ohio
valley,
headquartered
here
in
louisville
kentucky
coast
guard,
has
eight
small
boats.
L
They
conduct
3
500
underway
hours
a
year,
enforcing
waterways,
safety
and
security
zones
across
1040
miles
of
the
ohio,
cumberland
and
tennessee
rivers.
It
improves
national
security
by
thwarting
possible
waterborne
threats,
including,
but
not
limited
to
potential
terrorist
activity,
use,
possession
and
transportation
of
illegal
drugs
boating
under
the
influence
of
alcohol
and
recreational
boating
safety.
L
Olive
oil
which
helps
secure
kentucky's,
multi-billion
dollar
maritime
transportation
system
coast
guard,
operates
a
vessel
traffic
service
in
the
metro,
louisville
area
during
periods
of
high
water
was
established
back
in
1973
when
in
1972
there
was
a
near
disaster
with
chlorine
barges
that
broke
free
and
ended
up
being
lodged
in
mccalpin
dam,
miraculously
there
were
no
injuries
during
that,
but
it
did
require
a
large
evacuation
of
the
portland
section
of
louisville
and
other
surrounding
areas.
L
As
part
of
our
commitment
to
preserving
public
safety
and
security
on
the
inland
river
system,
we
permit
and
patrol
a
significant
number
of
marine
events
such
as
thunder
over
louisville
and
river
fest
among
others.
These
events
have
drawn
well
over
half
a
million
spectators
with
thunder
over
louisville
alone,
having
attracted
over
800
000
in
the
past.
We
work
closely
with
local
and
state
partners,
as
well
as
the
event
planners
to
plan,
coordinate
and
execute
waterside
activities
that
ensure
these
events
remain
safe
and
secure.
L
So
far
this
year,
the
coast,
guard's
search
and
rescue
operations
have
saved
50
lives
in
kentucky
assisted
over
217
mariners,
saved
over
a
million
dollars
in
property
and
assisted
in
saving
or
salvaging
another
19
million,
adding
a
return
value
of
480
million
to
kentucky's
workforce.
According
to
the
department
of
transportation's
economic
value
sector,
ohio
valley
in
the
coast
guard
have
two
kentucky-based
inland
river
cutters,
they're
65-foot
tenders.
They
establish
and
maintain
the
aids
to
navigation
over
663
miles
of
the
ohio
river,
as
well
as
376
miles
of
navigable
water
found
within
the
state
of
kentucky.
L
Coast
guard
has
designated
33
maritime
security
response
operation
zones
within
kentucky
they're,
based
on
key
port
areas,
vessel
traffic
routes,
security
zones,
critical
waterways
anchorages
and
risk
target
data.
We've
conducted
371,
small
vessel
security
boardings
so
far
this
year
and
enforced
these
dedicated
zones
as
the
designated
federal
maritime
security
coordinator
for
kentucky
I'm
responsible
for
overseeing
eight
maritime
area,
maritime
security
committees.
This
membership
includes
representatives
from
federal
state
and
local
agencies,
as
well
as
maritime
industry
and
stakeholders.
L
Sector.
Ohio
personnel
participate
in
the
security
plan
meetings,
including
exercises
and
boat
drills
with
your
local
and
state
partners,
and
through
these
interagency
partnerships
coast
guard
personnel
have
provided
guidance
and
training
to
state
and
local
law
enforcement
and
search
and
rescue
focused
agencies
which,
in
conjunction
with
coast,
guard
patrols,
have
reduced
threats
to
kentucky's
critical
infrastructure
by
90
percent.
L
In
terms
of
how
your
installation
impact
or
how
we
impact
and
support
kentucky's
economic
growth,
inland
river
towing
vessels
and
barges
make
up
about
80
percent
of
all
u.s
flag
vessels
and
the
inland
river
barge
capacity
is
16
times
greater
than
rail
and
70
times
greater
than
truck,
but
to
maximize
the
use
of
the
river.
It
requires
infrastructure
to
provide
critical
connection
points
to
international
markets.
L
Sector
ohio
valley
is
charged
with
the
safe
oversight
and
regulation
of
the
maritime
transportation
system,
and
we
have
members
that
oversee
and
influence
kentucky's
2950
maritime-centric
jobs
according
to
marad,
which
provides
the
state
of
kentucky
177
million
in
direct
labor
income.
While
representing
270
million
in
the
state's
gdp,
we
regulate
44
waterside
facilities,
which
receive
store,
refined
process
and
redistribute
liquid
and
solid
cargos
vital
to
industry
supply
chain
production.
L
In
2020
we
provided
over
a
million
dollars
to
local
kentucky
municipality
first
responder
organizations
through
the
port
security
grant
program
sector
ovale
spends
about
half
a
million
a
little
more
than
half
a
million
on
leased
business
and
off
office
space
throughout
the
state
of
kentucky,
as
well.
L
In
terms
of
things
that
we
need
from
from
you
all,
additional
incentives
for
infrastructure
along
the
river
system,
such
as
cell
phone
towers
to
aid
in
communications
with
commercial
vessel
and
recreational
boaters,
access
to
existing
and
placement
of
additional
cameras
along
the
river
system.
L
Bridges,
for
example,
cincinnati-
has
cameras
that
they
allow
us
access
to,
and
it's
proven
useful
when
conducting
search
and
rescue
cases,
improvement
and
dedicated
communications
equipment
such
as
800,
megahertz,
radio
and
river
channel
to
local
and
state
agencies
to
facilitate
effective,
dedicated
maritime
communications
during
a
multi-jurisdictional
event
such
as
thunder
over
louisville
continued
investment
in
marine
assets
and
training
such
as
the
national
association
of
state
boating
law,
administrators
and
incident
command
system
for
local
and
state
agencies
to
improve
multi-jurisdictional
interoperability
and
really
would
like
to
see
some
support
to
re-establish
an
epa
region
for
representative
in
the
louisville
office.
L
We
also
would
like
to
encourage
attendance
by
any
members
of
the
legislature
at
our
area.
Maritime
security
committee
meetings
we
hold
them
in
the
the
larger
cities
like
louisville
owensboro,
evansville,
just
to
kind
of
show,
support
and
see
what
it
is
that
we
do
with
your
local
law
enforcement
and
first
responder
agencies
on
on
a
daily
basis.
D
Captain
beach,
we
appreciate
you
testifying.
Can
you
tell
me
who
who's
responsible
for
filling
that
empty
slot
at
the
epa
or
so.
L
I
can
get
back
with
a
specific
name
of
who
you
can
reach
out
to
to
the
epa
on
getting
that
that
body
filled,
but
it
basically
ends
up
leading
to
either
state
agencies
having
to
to
go
and
respond,
or
the
coast
guard
having
to
respond
to
fill
that
gap.
But
I'll
get
you
a
name
as
soon
as
I
can.
D
B
D
You
did
a
great
job
well,
thank
you!
So
much.
We
appreciate
you
hanging
with
us.
I
know
it's
getting
to
be
a
lengthy
meeting.
We
appreciate
you
being
here
we're
going
to
go
ahead
and
move
on
to
our
last
presenter
and
it's
always
good
to
see
general
bullard
here
kind
of
our
low
energy
general
here
so
go
ahead,
general
you,
you
probably
don't
need
any
introduction,
but
please
do
so
anyway
and
proceed.
C
Well,
thank
you
chairman
thomas
I'm,
brigadier
general
retired,
steve,
bullard,
executive
director
of
kentucky
commission
on
military
affairs,
and
I'm
going
to
be
very,
very
quick.
I
will
share
one
slide
here,
I'll
attempt
to
do
that,
and
hopefully
you
can
see
that
now,
but
the
first
off
welcome
to
our
world.
This
is
kcma.
The
the
defense
community
in
kentucky
is
what
we
are
all
about,
and
it's
our
partnerships.
C
You
know
just
maintaining
sexual
situational
awareness
and
knowledge
and
relationships
throughout
the
greater
defense
community,
and
this
doesn't
even
include
the
national
guard,
which
is
a
significant
part
of
our
defense
community
and
the
business
community,
which
is
another
9.7
billion
dollars
of
economic
impact
overall.
So
there's
just
our
relationships
with
knox:
regional
development
alliance,
campbell,
strong,
craig
williams
and
the
folks
over
at
in
richmond
and
all
of
the
military
commanders
around
the
state.
C
It's
essential
to
our
being
able
to
advise
the
legislature
or
members
of
congress
and
the
the
governor
on
what's
going
on
in
kentucky
and
there's
a
lot
and
as
you
can
see
from
the
one
slide
that
I
will
share
is
that
we
are
just
we're
huge
kentucky's
overwhelmingly
in
army
state
love.
What
we
got
from
the
coast
guard
there
and,
in
fact,
I'll
I'll
work
with
amy
to
get
some
more
information
on
the
maritime
security
committee
meetings
and
when
they're
held
and
get
that
out
to
you
as
well.
C
And
but
we,
you
know,
94
of
all
our
military
direct
spending
is
army.
Related
we've
got
obviously
fort
knox,
ford
campbell.
We
have
55
000
dod
personnel,
I
like
to
say
we
play
well
above
our
weight,
so
we
rank
17th
in
the
number
of
personnel
in
the
united
states
14th
in
the
amount
of
money
spent,
because
a
lot
of
our
folks
here
are
in
the
higher
ranks
in
the
fort
knox
area.
C
So
we're
14th
in
our
average
salary,
basically
for
dod
and
our
total
defense
spending
in
kentucky
is
22.3
billion
dollars
hugely
significant
and
that's
eighth
in
the
nation.
In
relation
to
our
gdp
and
there's,
you
know
just
some
other
interesting
points:
yeah
we're
home
to
nearly
300
000
veterans
over
24,
000
of
whom
are
female
veterans,
and
did
you
know
forty
four
thousand
kentucky
school
children
self-identify
as
having
close
military
contacts?
C
We
have
one
of
the
largest
dod
providers
in
the
nation
in
humana
in
louisville,
with
their
6.7
billion
dollar
tricare
contract.
So
but
you've
got
the
slides
that
I've.
Given
you
and
always
available
to
talk
more
in
detail,
we
love
doing
it.
We've
got
a
series
of
podcasts
we're
doing
now
called
all
things.
C
Military
in
kentucky
that'll
be
out
on
our
social
media
and
we
have
our
five
strategic
goals
that
we've
worked
through
the
legislature
and
our
commission
and
I
point
out
that
jim
iacocca,
the
head
of
the
knox
regional
development
alliance,
he's
the
chairman
of
the
kentucky
commission
on
military
affairs
and
kelly
pendleton
is
a
member
of
our
executive
committee,
but
we
protect
and
we
grow
dod
installations
and
activities.
We
work
to
help
expand
the
economic
impact
of
kentucky's
defense,
related
industry
yeah.
C
We
we're
developing
the
model
for
transitioning
service
members
and
in
krda
and
campbell
strong
you
have,
and
craig
and
his
group
you
have
just
such
great
partners
in
that
area
and
we
want
to
establish
kentucky
as
the
most
military,
friendly
and
military
ready
state
veterans
ready
as
well,
and
I
want
to
foot
stomp
the
military
retirement
tax
exemption,
because
you
can't
compete
for
that.
Unless
you
have
that
35
states
have
it
all
of
our
neighbors.
C
Have
it
we
do
not,
and
people
like
the
command
sergeant
major
for
fort
campbell
and
other
senior
military
leaders
are
choosing
to
retire
in
other
locations
when
they
can
be
community
leaders
here
in
kentucky.
We
need
them
here
and
that
that's
a
major
part
of
their
decision-making
process
and
again
we
communicate
strategically
and
we
gain
advocacy.
D
All
right,
thank
you,
general
bullard,
and
we
do
continue
to
work
with
the
chairman,
petry
and
chairman
mcdaniel
on
the
senate
side
and
and
try
to
make
it
where
we
can
get
more
retirees
at
that
higher
level
to
well.
We
want
all
retirees
to
you
know
reside
in
kentucky
when
they
they
just
decide
to
retire.
Do
we
have
any
questions
for
general
bullard?
D
It's
always
great
to
see
you,
sir,
and
thank
you
for
getting
me
right
on
time.
I
got
five
seconds
until
12
o'clock
and
if
there's
no
other
questions
or
anything
we,
our
next
meeting
will
be
at
10
o'clock
on
wednesday
october
20th
we're
working
on
that
agenda.
If
there's
any
ideas
to
come,
see
me
and
if
not,
we
stand
adjourned.
