Today s Realities POTUS, 23 August 2017: We are committed to expanding and improving a state of the art missile defense system to shoot down missiles in flight. And we are getting better and better at it. It s actually incredible what s taking place. SECDEF statement, 20 September 2017: "...if we fail to adapt at the speed of relevance, our forces will lose... CJCS, 3 October 2017: "Based on the current capacity of the North Korean threat, both the type and the amount of missiles that they possess, we can protect Hawaii today against an ICBM. We can protect the continental United States against an ICBM... As the capacity of the threat increases - that is the size, not just the lethality, of missiles that they may possess - we need to be concerned about ensuring that our ballistic missile defense capability keeps pace with that threat. We do think an increase is warranted. USD (AT&L), 10 October 2017: It s all about velocity. We are trying to get stuff downrange quickly.
