Gen. Smith speaks with Kyodo news on current events in the Indo-Pacific. Thanks for allowing me to do this interview and for, uh, taking a couple minutes as I come, come back to Japan. Uh, I was here as the commander of three MEF, uh, for a year, and then my son and his wife were stationed here for three years. So, uh, it feels good to be back to my second home. Mm-hmm.
, uh, it feels very good to be back. The Marine Corps's job here in the Indo-Pacific is to deter, um, our job is to work in this instance with this particular alliance, this exceptional alliance is to ensure that we deter conflict. So I would never presume a conflict to happen.

STATEMENT OF GENERAL DAVID H. BERGER COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS ON THE POSTURE OF THE UNITED STATES MARINE CORPS BEFORE THE SENATE APPROPRIATIONS COMMITTEE
Introduction Chair, Ranking Member, and distinguished members of the Committee, I am thankful for the opportunity to report the progress of your Marine Corps over the last year and seek your support in continuing to prepare the Service to face an increasingly uncertain and challenging future. I would be remiss, in my final year as Commandant, if I did not first acknowledge the unwavering support of this Committee over the last three years. Simply put, the Marine Corps of today is a better fighting force because of your guidance, commitment, and resourcing decisions. But there is still much work to be done. A brief review of world events over the past few years tells us we are moving in the right direction, but we cannot slow down. In fact, we need to accelerate our efforts so your Marine Corps can effectively deter while remaining ready to immediately respond to any crisis, anywhere on the globe, at any time. The work of this Committee is crucial to the modernization of the Marine Corps into a force that will continue to do just that.
