Jeremy Hunt 's Statement on Progressivism’s Impact on an All-Volunteer Military

Good afternoon,

Chairman Grothman, Ranking Member Garcia, and Members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to testify today about the state of our military’s readiness.

I’m Jeremy Hunt, and I have the honor of serving as Chairman of Veterans on Duty, a nonprofit policy advocacy organization made up of veterans who are concerned about the state of our military and the strength of our national security. Many of us have deployed to Afghanistan, Iraq, and — in my case — Western Ukraine. During my time on active duty as an Army intelligence officer, I helped train the Ukrainian Armed Forces for what was then a hypothetical scenario of Russia launching an invasion against Ukraine. Five years later, I watched video footage of Yavoriv Training Center in L’viv, where I lived for many months, become engulfed in flames after a Russian attack.

That footage reminded me, yet again, that our adversaries abroad are more emboldened than ever. And it’s not just Russia. China continues its multi-generational effort to supplant the United States as the world’s leading superpower. The Chinese Communist Party is building hypersonic missiles that our radar systems can barely detect, spying on Americans without consequence, and threatening the sovereignty of Taiwan. And of course, threats remain from barbaric regimes in North Korea and Iran. In light of these rising threats, there is growing concern that our United States military simply isn’t ready.
