Military Times: The top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee introduced legislation Monday that would create an independent panel to review the recent spike in military aviation accidents and determine why they are happening.
Rep. Adam Smith, D-Wash., the ranking member, introduced an amendment to the fiscal 2019 defense authorization bill that would create a “National Commission on Military Aviation Safety.”
An independent panel comprising eight appointed members would be tasked “to assess the rates of military aviation mishaps between fiscal years 2013 and 2018 compared to historic aviation mishap rates.”
