From the transcript
We are flying aircraft that in many cases are older than airmen who maintain them. We are operating at a high operations tempo across multiple theaters and doing so while preparing to be ready for any future conflict. Our fiscal year 2027 budget request prioritizes restoring depth to our force by increasing funding for flying hours, munitions, and maintenance, and advanced training that reflects the reality of today and tomorrow's fight. Weapon systems sustainment funding increased to over $24 billion and flying hours to nearly 10 billion. We are focused on readiness that continues to remain credible and can deliver effects.
