WASHINGTON \u2014 If Congress can\u2019t reach a budget deal, the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps will make \u201cdramatic changes\u201d to absorb the loss of billions of dollars from their 2022 plans, the Navy\u2019s top budget officer said Tuesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The federal government has been operating under a series of continuing resolutions since the fiscal year began Oct. 1, meaning the previous fiscal 2021 spending legislation, not the updated FY22 budget, is in place. Under a CR, no new programs can begin, and the services can\u2019t increase the quantity they buy from an existing program. The current continuing resolution funds the government through Feb. 18.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rear Adm. John Gumbleton, the deputy assistant secretary of the Navy for budget, told reporters in a Jan. 25 call the Navy and Marine Corps are acting as if a proper FY22 budget will be passed \u2014 conducting operations at the planned pace, training new sailors and Marines at boot camp, getting contracts negotiated so they can be executed quickly \u2014 but also planning for the steep cuts they\u2019d need to make under a full-year continuing resolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe want to not break trust with our families, our sailors, our Marines; we want to maintain that competitive edge for our strategic rivals; and we want to be a good partner to our industrial base. A year-long CR does not do any of those things, so it\u2019s not in our best interest,\u201d Gumbleton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The operations and maintenance budget, for example, would be $2.5 billion short of what the sea services planned for FY22, he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are continuing to spend the money like we have it, because we\u2019ve been here before,\u201d Gumbleton said, noting that 19 of the last 20 fiscal years have started with a continuing resolution but that usually the Pentagon eventually gets a new defense budget.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIf it does turn into a full-year CR, the dramatic impacts would be we would not do maintenance on five submarines and two aircraft carriers, and we would reduce the flying hour accounts to all our pilots, Navy and Marine Corps, by 10[%] or 20% in the last quarter and a half of the fiscal year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said the services would not accept any risk to the forward-deployed forces, but that means units training at home could face a disproportionate impact from what he called \u201cruthless prioritization\u201d of forward forces.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked if a full-year CR could hinder the services\u2019 ability to respond to Russian aggression in Ukraine or elsewhere in Europe, Gumbleton said that would not happen, but spending money on those operations would only further limit what\u2019s available to units stateside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A lack of money for training and operating at home is bad for proficiency and retention, he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gumbleton said that, of the five submarine maintenance availabilities that would be cut, one would be a $710 million maintenance availability scheduled to take place at General Dynamics Electric Boat shipyard in Connecticut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

EB President Kevin Graney said in a Jan. 24 company update<\/a> that attack submarine Hartford arrived at the Groton yard in June for a \u201csmart start\u201d ahead of a planned engineered overhaul of the submarine. This overhaul period \u2014 which appears to be what Gumbleton was referring to \u2014 is helping Electric Boat hire the new employees it needs for the Columbia ballistic missile submarine program and give them something to start working on now, while the first Columbia sub is still in the early stages of construction and not ready yet for employees who would work at later stages of the assembly line. Graney has previously described the submarine repair work as a risk-reduction measure for the Columbia program \u2014 and now one that could be yanked away in a full-year CR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A full-year CR would hamper the Columbia program in other ways, Gumbleton said, with the shipbuilding program that\u2019s been long designated the Navy\u2019s top acquisition priority receiving about half a billion less than it needs in FY22. The Columbia program received $4.58 billion in funding in FY21, a figure bumped up to $5.06 billion in the Navy\u2019s request and to $5.2 billion in the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gumbleton said no sector in the industrial base would be shielded from the effects of a full-year CR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In shipbuilding, the Navy would not be able to buy its second Constellation-class frigate, a T-AGOS ocean surveillance ship, a John Lewis-class oiler, two Ship to Shore Connectors and three used sealift ships as it had planned for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In aviation, the Navy and Marines wouldn\u2019t be able to increase their Joint Strike Fighter buy by seven aircraft as planned or buy six MQ-9 Predator drones for the Marines to start experimenting with.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And weapons meant to make ships more lethal or add range to their arsenal \u2014 including things like the Joint Air-to-Surface Standoff Missile, Joint Air-to-Ground Missile, Evolved SeaSparrow Missile and Naval Strike Missile \u2014 wouldn\u2019t see the increased procurement quantity the department wanted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He did not provide a dollar amount associated with the full-year CR\u2019s impact to acquisition, but he said 32 new programs would not be allowed to start \u2014 10 acquisition programs, 10 research and development programs and 12 military construction programs \u2014 in addition to countless ones meant to increase in quantity in FY 22.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re in an interesting time: We\u2019re waiting on a \u201822 topline and an enacted budget, and we\u2019re waiting to submit our \u201823 plans,\u201d he said. \u201cThe impact for future years is, the industrial base counts on this to make investments in their own workforce, investments in their own infrastructure, and so when we change the plan, that does impact them, and it will impact future program years.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sea services would also be $1.5 billion short when it comes to payroll, leading to three drastic levers the department would have to pull to make the budget work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Complicating the matter, the FY22 National Defense Authorization Act that was passed into law gives servicemembers a 2.7% pay raise, which Gumbleton said they\u2019re grateful for \u2014 but it exacerbates the payroll shortfall under a full-year CR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Navy alone had planned to bring in 31,000 new sailors in FY22, but if it can\u2019t make payroll, that would be reduced by 23,000 accessions \u2014 meaning just 8,000 new sailors to support what\u2019s supposed to be a growing fleet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet that sink in for a moment: as an armed force, that we\u2019re going to actually not bring in over 60% of our planned [accessions]. How are we supposed to maintain pace with China and the threats that we face? How do we maintain the Navy and Marine Corps and keep it going? That\u2019s just a dramatic and significant factor, but that alone would not actually pay the bill,\u201d he said of the cut to accessions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additionally, the services would have to cancel reenlistment bonuses as well as cancel about 37,000 permanent change of station moves. That means sailors or Marines stationed internationally who had expected to come back home to the U.S. would have to wait another year, for example, Gumbleton said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

One area he said the Navy would protect, though, is surface ship maintenance. The Navy had seen very low on-time delivery rates of surface ships from private repair yards as recently as 2018, but the service has since launched several data-driven efforts to improve ship repair<\/a> costs and quality and get ready ships back into the fight faster. Commander of Naval Surface Forces Vice Adm. Roy Kitchener and others in the surface ship community have said an important lesson from these efforts is that contracts for private ship repair periods should be awarded at least 120 days before the ship arrives at the yard, so the industrial base has time to get the right people and parts in place to do the work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gumbleton said the Navy was pleased with the improvements and wants to <\/b>protect the recovering ship repair activity <\/b>from a full-year CR.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe like what we\u2019re seeing: A-minus-120, let\u2019s get those contracts, let\u2019s get those private yards the ability to plan so they can execute better. And so when we looked at, hey, how would you mitigate this dramatic reduction in our [operations and maintenance] appropriation, again, the $2.5 billion I mentioned, we were stuck between the choices. And so that\u2019s why we\u2019re electing to go after the private sector submarine maintenance and the carrier maintenance, in an attempt to keep the private shipyards in our surface fleet on timeline.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
