 What U.S. Army Europe is doing today to deliver trained and ready forces to the combatant commander and what you are doing to ensure that our Army is well integrated with our partners is truly admirable. This is critically important work, especially as the environment around us becomes more complex and ever hyper-connected. In other words, USER is like a high-speed train running efficiently down the track. I now stand at the edge of that track ready to grab hold and I truly look forward to this experience.
