Sullivan Named Chairman of Senate Armed Services Subcommittee on Readiness and Management Support

WASHINGTON, DC – U.S. Senator Dan Sullivan (R-AK) today announced that he has been selected to serve as chairman of the Senate Armed Services Subcommittee (SASC) on Readiness and Management Support in the 116th Congress. 

In his capacity as Chairman of the SASC Subcommittee on Readiness, Sullivan will oversee military readiness across each branch within the Department of Defense, including training, logistics and maintenance issues and programs, military construction, installations and family housing issues, and defense energy and environmental programs. 

“Ensuring our service members have all of the resources, equipment and training to protect our nation against an increasingly complex and diverse array of threats remains my top priority and a top priority of the Department of Defense,” said Senator Sullivan. “This is an important subcommittee for our military, especially our forces in Alaska. We have made great progress on rebuilding readiness shortfalls over the last couple of years, but much more work must be done. This Congress, I look forward to finishing our service-specific readiness hearing series with a hearing on Army Readiness. I also hope to tackle other important issues including acquisition reforms, industrial base issues, and Arctic readiness.”
