Visiting the Ballistics, Aero-Optics, and Materials Range at Texas A&M

This week, I had the opportunity to see the completed Phase 1 of Texas A&M's new Ballistics, Aero-Optics, and Materials (BAM) Range on RELLIS campus, which will enable the U.S. to put weapons and capabilities in the hands of our warfighters faster and at a lower cost, ensuring we can compete — and win — against our adversaries.

Over the past few years, I've fought to secure funding from Congress and develop this facility because I believe it will play a crucial role in outperforming our adversaries’ military capabilities. I look forward to seeing the historic BAM range bolster America’s military might and strengthen our national security for years to come.
