Elizabeth Warren is calling on the Pentagon to stop censoring its annual weapons testing report and return to the transparency that marked it for the last 40 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/MdmF6sbgye\" target=\"_blank\">letter<\/a> Tuesday to Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin, Warren rapped the Director, Operational Test and Evaluation office for omitting data about more than 20 programs from its public report published Thursday while a fuller version, marked \u201ccontrolled unclassified information,\u201d was given to Congress and Defense Department officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Warren, D-Mass., called the move an \u201cunjustified restriction of public access\u201d that \u201cwill not serve to protect national security information but will instead be abused to avoid disclosure of failures in our major weapons programs.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The reports aid in the oversight of taxpayer dollars and help to ensure troops are provided with the tools they need to complete their missions, Warren said in her letter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThis also endangers national security by making it more likely we will field weapon systems that unnecessarily jeopardize the lives of servicemembers and negatively affect their performance on the battlefield,\u201d the letter read. \u201cI urge you to reverse this directive and resume the release of public, unclassified reporting on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/battlefield-tech\/it-networks\/2022\/01\/28\/us-armys-tactical-network-must-overcome-several-challenges-says-pentagon-weapons-tester\/\" target=\"_blank\">results of DOT&amp;E\u2019s findings<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">DOT&amp;E\u2019s acting director, Raymond O\u2019Toole, announced in December that only a \u201ccontrolled unclassified\u201d version of the report will be made available to Congress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI thought it very important to provide Congress and the secretary the test evaluation details that shouldn\u2019t wind up in our adversaries\u2019 hands, hence the new CUI version of the annual report,\u201d O\u2019Toole <a href=\"https:\/\/breakingdefense.com\/2021\/12\/pentagon-tester-to-restrict-info-on-weapons-programs-raising-transparency-concerns\/\" target=\"_blank\">said, according to Breaking Defense<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The public version omitted information about more than 20 weapon programs, including the Marine Corps\u2019 CH-53K King Stallion, a major acquisition effort and one of the service\u2019s most troubled programs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Warren\u2019s letter to Austin, she said the classification of the report submitted to Congress will have the effect of limiting the Pentagon\u2019s accountability, and worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cAs a practical matter, it will limit the type of information available for those tasked with holding the Department accountable and ensuring taxpayer dollars are being spent responsibly,\u201d Warren said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lack of transparency also raised alarms among watchdog groups. In a series of tweets, Dan Grazier, a fellow at the Project on Government Oversight, called the DOT&amp;E move \u201cdisgraceful\u201d and hailed Warren\u2019s efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cIt\u2019s good to see pushback against the Pentagon\u2019s efforts to hide embarrassing information about the weapons we all pay for from the public,\u201d Grazier said in a Tuesday post.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Elizabeth Warren is calling on the Pentagon to stop censoring its annual weapons testing
