Veterans Affairs Secretary Robert Wilkie<\/a> return to Capitol Hill this week to talk about their priorities for the upcoming fiscal year, this time before different lawmakers probing the same budget priorities.<\/p>\n\n\n\nLeaders from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force and Space Force will also make appearances this week to talk about their service specific needs. Their hearings will take place both before the appropriators debating the fiscal 2021 totals and the policy lawmakers looking at what to include in the annual defense authorization bill. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Beyond the defense-specific hearings, lawmakers have also tentatively scheduled several hearings on the spread of the coronavirus, which has implications for military bases both abroad and domestically. <\/p>\n\n\n\nTuesday, March 3<\/strong>
