00:00:22 Biden, Joseph I AM SORRY I GOT TIED UP. OUR WITNESSES ARE EXTREMELY BUSY. WE'RE HERE TO DISCUSS AN IMPORTANT TREND AFFECTING THE COUNTRY, AND THAT IS THE EXPANDING ROLE OF THE MILITARY IN U.S. FOREIGN POLICY. THE EVENTS OF SEPTEMBER 11 MADE IT CLEAR THAT ARMED FORCES COULD NOT FOCUS SOLELY ON TRADITIONAL CHALLENGES. THIS NEW WORLD WE FOUND OURSELVES IN HAS COMPELLED US TO THINK IN A DIFFERENT WAY. IN RESPONSE TO THAT, WE HAVE GIVEN OUR MILITARY MUCH GREATER FLEXIBILITY IN FUNDING AND RESOURCES. THE ADMINISTRATION IS TRYING A NEW MODEL FOR AN INTEGRATED COMBAT COMMAND IN AFRICA.
