General Jack Bergman announced his continued support for an audit on the Department of Defense. f t # e Washington, December 27, 2017 Having served alongside General Mattis, I know he is the right man, at the right time, to lead the Department of Defense. Marines are trained to lead by exampleand under General Mattis leadership, DOD can lead the way in responsible federal spending. General Mattis is moving forwardwith a full-scale auditat DOD for the first time inU.S.history. This top to bottom audit is the largest ever conducted and continues the process of applying accountability at all levels of government. As a fiscal conservative,Ive said many times that the United States government must be held accountable for every penny oftaxpayermoney received and spent especially when committing resources to the defense of our nation. Our men and women in uniform work each and every day to safeguard the freedoms we hold dear. Its our responsibility to ensure theyve got the training, resources, and support necessary to carry out their mission. This audit by DOD is a critical step in changingthe federal governments culture of spending and ensuring the Pentagons resources are allocated to warfighters in the most efficient and effective way possible. f t # e | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
