You may not like the phrasing of taking $1 billion out of readiness, but the bottom line is that you either had to run lean and mean last year or you're running lean and mean this year. You can't have it both ways.
For better understanding of these numbers, it appears that land is coming down by roughly $247 million. Joint and common readiness, which I assume is working with our partners, our allies, is about $171 million. Maritime readiness is coming down $242 million, and aerospace about $184 million.
Does that sound right to you?
