Greene also gave background information on his position as the committee’s staff member for transportation and logistics. He discussed the role of logistics management for the best logistic systems and suppliers in order to keep the leadership in warfare and support the needs of the warfighter and ended his presentation by taking questions from students.

His responsibilities include reviewing the Air Force, Navy and Marine Corps aviation program; Navy shipbuilding programs; Navy and Air Force conventional investment programs; and defense-wide intelligence programs.
