Cotton says Army's governance model for OIB needs to change

The Army's governance model for managing the organic industrial base is in need of reform in order to reduce inefficiencies and put the United States on the path to better solving its munitions shortfall, says Sen. Tom Cotton (R-AR).When the Army Transformation Initiative was rolled out May 1 at the direction of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, multiple members of Congress raised questions during a series of hearings over the summer about whether a proposal to “review and consolidate operations” at depots and arsenals would result in massive cuts to sites in Kentucky, Arkansas, Alabama and Texas.While the ATI is unspecific in terms of the plans for consolidation, House and Senate authorizers responded by including provisions in their respective draft versions of the fiscal year 2026 defense authorization bill requiring the defense secretary to explain the reasoning behind a downsizing of an OIB facility. The Army secretary would also need to submit an annual report to the congressional defense committees on the state of the OIB.Cotton, a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee who represents the state that houses Pine Bluff Arsenal, told Inside Defense this week that he, along with fellow Sen. John Boozman (R-AR) and Rep. Bruce Westerman (R-AR) have had communication with Army Secretary Dan Driscoll and Chief of Staff Gen. Randy George, and that so far, they have “reached some positive outcomes.”“I can’t say that we’ve worked through every single issue in the Army Transformation Initiative, but we’re all working in the same direction to help posture the Army for the threats our nation faces in the future, and I look forward to continuing to work with them in a constructive fashion on all fronts,” Cotton said.The senator said he expects that the final version of the bill will ultimately include those provisions that relate to protecting OIB facilities.“I do think the committee’s version of the [defense policy bill] along with the manager’s amendments that had already been adopted into a substitute amendment will form the baseline of conversations with the House on whether we can have a vote on the committee-passed version of the bill or not. So, I do think those will probably be in there,” he said.Cotton is also hopeful the final version of the legislation will include language that facilitates changes to the Army’s governance model for the OIB. Among the issues with the current model, he said, is the way the working capital fund is structured, along with other inefficiencies that can “artificially drive up the appearance of prices at arsenals and ammunition plants and depots.”“It doesn't necessarily mean that that reflects reality. It's always a little bit harder to account for that reality in a government agency than it is in a private-sector company. But I think the secretary and the chief understand the points we've been making, that the Army has been under investing in these facilities going back years, decades, really. And that, in part, is what creates the artificial appearance of inefficiencies in price,” he said.One issue Cotton pointed to is the fact that Army Materiel Command oversees the OIB, but the service acquisition chief oversees the OIB requirements, which “creates a disconnect between requirements and funding.”“We’ve raised that with the secretary and the chief. I think it will be in the final version of this year’s [defense bill], but even if it’s not, the issue has been fully aired,” he said.The reconciliation bill passed by Congress this summer, also known as the “One Big Beautiful Bill Act,” gives the Pentagon $150 billion in addition to what is in the annual base budget. While the Defense Department has not yet provided a detailed spending plan for this money, programmatic “guidance tables” sent by the chairmen of the House and Senate Armed Services committees show an intent to spend $1.5 billion of the reconciliation funds on “Army depot modernization and capacity enhancement.”Cotton says the reconciliation money will be key when it comes to bolstering the Army’s long-term capital investments. But he urged Democrats in Congress to end the current government shutdown and enable work on the FY-26 defense policy bill to move forward.“We need to get out of the shutdown. We need the Democrats to come to their senses, and we need to take up the annual Department of Defense funding bill. But the Big Beautiful Bill is a significant down payment for the Army’s organic industrial base, as well as all the other services’ long-term capital needs,” he said.

Man rescued after being thrown from boat at mouth of Merrimack River

A man was seriously hurt Monday when he was thrown from his boat by a breaking wave at the mouth of the Merrimack River, fire officials said.The 37-year-old was wearing a life jacket when he was ejected from his boat, and although he was seriously hurt, still managed to get back onboard and ride into Newburyport Harbor.The Newburyport Fire Department was called to help shortly after 5:30 p.m. Firefighters used the department’s Raven’s nest boat to bring the man to shore, where an ambulance rushed him to the hospital.He is expected to recover.First responders brought the man’s boat back to shore as well.“It is fortunate that this individual was being responsible and wearing a life jacket when this incident occurred. This might have been a much more serious incident otherwise,” Chief Bradbury said in a statement.Newburyport police and Massachusetts Environmental Police were also on hand to help.The mouth of the Merrimack River is an infamously challenging area for boaters to navigate, with strong currents and the clash of fresh and saltwater.

Mark Sanchez approached and assaulted truck driver before stabbing, police allege

Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez is accused of approaching and assaulting a delivery driver while intoxicated before the driver then stabbed him multiple times in what he described as self-defense, according to a court filing from Indianapolis prosecutors.Marion County Prosecutor Ryan Mears said that the incident “should have never happened.”“What began as a disagreement between a 38-year-old former professional athlete and a 69-year-old man should not have escalated into violence or left anyone seriously injured,” Mears said in a statement Sunday.The incident first became public when the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department reported that Sanchez had been stabbed during a physical disturbance at 12:30 a.m. Authorities said Sanchez was hospitalized and later placed under arrest for battery with injury, unlawful entry of a motor vehicle and public intoxication.Sanchez does not have an attorney listed in the court record. Representatives for Sanchez did not immediately respond to NBC News’ request for comment on the allegations on Sunday.Confrontation in an alleyPolice alleged that Sanchez approached a truck driver making a delivery at a nearby hotel and then escalated the encounter, according to charging documents filed on Sunday morning.Officers first responded to reports of a man shot at 12:35 a.m. when they found Sanchez with multiple stab wounds, according to a probable cause affidavit signed by Detective Joshua Stayton. A second man was also seen in an alley with a “laceration to his left cheek.”A witness told Stayton that he was parked and waiting to pick up his child when he saw two men interacting, the affidavit said. The witness thought the interaction was odd “because he thought the two men were using their cellphones to record each other.”Stayton requested a search warrant for Sanchez’s clothes and cellphone, which he collected from the hospital, the affidavit said. He also reviewed surveillance video from both the Westin and Marriott hotels that share the alley where the incident occurred.The Westin video quality was poor, the affidavit said, but the Marriott footage showed a man believed to be Sanchez running up to a large box truck backed into the Westin hotel’s loading dock area. Sanchez disappears and then reappears before approaching the driver’s door, the affidavit said.NFL3 hours ago3 takeaways from the Vikings' last-minute win over the Browns in LondonMac JonesOct 449ers' Mac Jones saw dead body before Rams game: Reportformula one5 hours agoGeorge Russell wins F1 Singapore GP as McLaren seals constructors' title againThe truck driver, identified only as P.T., is an employee for a company that “specializes in commercial cooking oil recycling and disposal,” according to the affidavit.“Mr. Sanchez approached the driver’s door of the truck and opened the door and began a conversation with P.T.,” the affidavit said. “Mr. Sanchez and P.T. stand by the driver’s side door for a few minutes and then P.T. walks over towards the security office doors of the Marriott.”The security video shows Sanchez follow P.T. multiple times as he walks around the truck, according to the affidavit. The incident then apparently escalates when P.T. darts for his driver’s side door.“Mr. Sanchez is seen running after P.T. and the video shows Mr. Sanchez grabbing and throwing P.T. towards the wall of the Westin,” the affidavit said.Driver used pepper spray and knifeIn an interview with Stayton, P.T. alleged that Sanchez approached him to tell him he cannot park at the loading dock and claimed to have spoken with the hotel manager. The driver did not have his hearing aids in at the time, forcing him to get closer to Sanchez, the affidavit said.“When P.T. leaned in, he stated that Mr. Sanchez smelled of alcohol and his speech was slurred,” the affidavit said.The driver alleged that Sanchez got into the cab of his truck but got out once P.T. told him he wasn’t allowed inside. But Sanchez kept repeating that the manger didn’t want P.T. to be there and tried to get into the truck again, the affidavit said.Sanchez also allegedly tried to block P.T. from retrieving his cellphone to contact his manager, P.T. told the detective.At that point, P.T. said he tried to reach the Marriott’s security office nearby and walked around the truck multiple times to get his cellphone. Sanchez allegedly shoved P.T. while the driver was again attempting to get his phone from the truck, the affidavit said.“P.T. realized things had escalated, and he was now in physical danger, so he reached into his pocket and grabbed his pepper spray and sprayed Mr. Sanchez in the face,” the affidavit said.The pepper spray appeared to affect Sanchez briefly, but he wiped his face and advanced toward him again, according to the truck driver.P.T. told police he feared Sanchez was “trying to kill” him and that’s when he pulled out his knife.Sanchez then “came at him” and P.T. said he stabbed him two or three times with the knife, according to the affidavit. The truck driver said that he felt himself thrown backward and landed on pallets on the ground.In that time, P.T. said he was unaware of what Sanchez was doing but that he saw the man’s feet coming towards him. The driver felt it was a “life or death situation,” the affidavit said.“Somehow, P.T. made it to his feet, and when Mr. Sanchez came at P.T. [he] stabbed Mr. Sanchez the last time,” the affidavit said.Fox Sports declines to comment on affidavitCourt records show a judge issued a $300 cash bond in Sanchez’s case and a pretrial no contact order.The former quarterback had a successful collegiate career at the University of Southern California and spent about 10 years in the NFL before his 2019 retirement.He was drafted by the New York Jets in 2009 and spent four seasons with the team before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles. Sanchez also spent time with the Dallas Cowboys, Denver Broncos and Chicago Bears.Sanchez worked as a commentator for ESPN following his retirement and joined Fox Sports in 2021 as game analyst.Fox Sports initially released a statement on Saturday following the news of Sanchez’s stabbing. The sports network reported that he was in stable condition following the incident.“Our thoughts and prayers are with Mark, and we ask that everyone please respect his and his family’s privacy during this time,” the statement said.Fox Sports declined to comment to NBC News on Sunday following the filing of the probable cause affidavit.
