“Now more than ever, we must work together to address emerging challenges to America’s security and give our troops the resources they need to keep our country safe,” said Green, R-Tennessee. “I look forward to working with Ranking Member Rogers and the Committee to ensure that America’s sons and daughters are the best prepared and the best equipped so that when they go to war, it’s never a fair fight.”
