Mr. Chairman, Ranking Member Wilson, I bring you greetings from the great state of Texas, and specifically from the 32nd congressional district, which is ably represented by Colin Allred. Thank you for the opportunity to testify before your committee today. My name is Andrew Exum, and from May of 2015 until January of 2017, I served as the deputy assistant secretary of defense for Middle East Policy. I had previously served in the Pentagon’s Middle East policy shop from 2012 until 2013, and I began my career as an Army officer, leading both light infantry and special operations units deployed to the Middle East.
