Excerpt from Senate Hearings Before the Committee on Appropriations, Vol. 3: Department of Defense Appropriations for Fiscal Year 1994, 103d Congress, First Session The subcommittee met at 10:06 a.m., in room SD-192, Dirksen Senate Office Building, Hon. Daniel K. Inouye (chairman) presiding. Present: Senators Inouye, Stevens, D´Amato, and Domenici. Department Of Defense Department of Defense Infrastructure Statement of Dr. William J. Perry, deputy secretary of Defence Accompanied by David J. Berteau, Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary Of Defense For Production And Logistics Opening Statement Of Senator Inouye Senator Inouye. The topic of our hearing this morning is the Department of Defenses infrastructure. We are pleased to have the Deputy Secretary of Defense, Dr. William Perry, with us, and also Mr. Berteau. We are all now aware of the changes underway in our military force structure. For 1995, the Army will have 12 active divisions, down from 18 in 1986. The Navy is reducing to 413 ships from a peak of 556 and is now considering options to go as low as 320 ships. The Air Force will have 13 active fighter wings in 1994, down from 24 in 1985. Many of these reductions are in response to a 40-percent decline in the Pentagons budget since 1985. To man and support this force structure in 1994, DOD will employ over 1.6 million active duty personnel and 900,000 civilians. DOD will operate 569 military installations with a fiscal year 1993 base operating support cost of over $24.5 billion. Each service will also operate its own network of labs and test ranges, spending over $10 billion annually. I make these statements to illustrate two points. First, while undergoing reductions, the Department of Defense must continue to operate, maintain, and modernize the force structure necessary to preserve our Nations security interests.
