The commandant of the US Marine Corps, Gen. Robert Neller, has warned acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan that a series of 'unplanned and unbudgeted' tasks have imposed an 'unacceptable risk to Marine Corps combat readiness and solvency'
The commandant of the US Marine Corps, Gen. Robert Neller, has warned acting Secretary of Defense Patrick Shanahan that a series of"unplanned and unbudgeted" tasks -- including President Donald Trump's decisions to deploy Marines to the southern border and to reallocate a portion of the defense budget to pay for the construction of a border wall -- has imposed an"unacceptable risk to Marine Corps combat readiness and solvency.
Neller's warning came in a memo dated Monday that says the"unplanned and unbudgeted factors" have forced the Marines to cancel or reduce their involvement in several military exercises.Though the border deployments were cited, hurricane relief efforts were by far the costliest unplanned task, at some $3.5 billion, according to Neller.
