While NASCAR pit crews will be working hard down the road at Talladega Superspeedway tomorrow, I met with the “Pit Crew of the American Warfighter” at Anniston Army Depot yesterday with HASC Chairman @RepMikeRogersAL. The work done in Anniston is fundamental to how we equip the warfighter and support  @DeptofWar’s "Arsenal of Freedom." Our ability to remain the most lethal and dominant land force in human history begins with the steel, sweat and expertise within this depot. Read more: army.mil/article/296296/acti…

Today, Vice Chief of Staff and Acting Chief of Staff Gen. Christopher LaNeve and leaders from the Army Staff spoke to Army War College students at Carlisle Barracks, Pennsylvania. They discussed the Army’s new operational warfighting guidance How the Army Fights, which instructs Soldiers at every level on what they need to do to stay ahead of the pacing threat. Gen. LaNeve urged them to take advantage of their time at AWC, become experts in their fields, and stay mentally and physically fit. “What we have that the pacing threat doesn’t have is the American Soldier -- and the American leader,” he told them.

I have officially appointed @Dakota_Meyer to serve as my Senior Advisor for the Barracks Task Force. Dakota will represent my office at installations across the country—going directly to our warfighters, identifying what’s broken, and ensuring we FIX our barracks. Our warriors deserve nothing less.

Acting @SecArmy Adam Telle and Acting Chief of Staff Gen. Chris LaNeve recently spent time with Louisiana State University cadets -- who are among the first to join America's Corps of Cadets, a groundbreaking @SecWar initiative that's expanding the officer commissioning pipeline. The Army leaders also spent time with cadets at the @LSU vs. @msstate game, and Gen. LaNeve had the honor of firing the pre-game cannon. Both leaders recognized retired Lt. Col. John Purdy for his 22 years of distinguished service and over two decades as LSU's head men's athletic trainer. Gen. LaNeve thanked LSU for its long and storied history contributing to the U.S. military, telling cadets "Now you all are part of that history."
