Senior Enlisted Advisor to Chairman Testifies on Quality of Life

View Online Senior Enlisted Advisor to Chairman Testifies on Quality of Life Feb. 12, 2026 |  By David Vergun Warfighters are the foundation of War Department lethality, said Senior Enlisted Advisor to the Chairman David L. Isom, who testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee's personnel subcommittee on service member and family quality of life, yesterday. The love and support from their families make their service possible, he added. As the joint force works tirelessly to ensure the safety and security of the nation, DOW and the nation must also work tirelessly to ensure service members have full support and that they have what they need to fight and win when called upon, the SEAC said. "Humans are more important than hardware, because the true strength of our military isn't just in our ships and our tanks or our aircraft. It's the unwavering spirit and the trusted hands of our people, our total joint force," Isom said.   Isom told the subcommittee that he and Air Force Gen. Dan Caine, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, have three priorities: First, the joint force must be properly armed — the right capabilities and capacity when needed to fight and win. Second, the joint force must be globally integrated across all domains — with interagency, industry and with allies and partners. Third, DOW must build a ready joint force. Being ready is about repetitions, tough training and building muscle memory. This also includes being clear-eyed about the future and being candid with the force and its families. "Underpinning these priorities is our most important asset, and that's our people," Isom said. "We recruit America's best, and we must retain this talent by taking care of them and taking care of their families." Senior enlisted leaders from all the service branches also testified.
