 U.S. Army Europe is going through some big changes during this time of transformation. To see how those changes are going, the Army Chief of Staff, General Raymond Odierno, stopped by the Wiesbaden Army airfield today. Arriving in a blackhawk, General Odierno came to Wiesbaden to meet with Garrison leaders to discuss issues regarding transformation in Europe. As part of his visit, the General toured different areas of the installation to learn more about the facilities. One stop on his tour was to see the future homes of the soldiers at the Airfield's South Housing Project. He explains how the transformation speaks to the value of maintaining an Army presence in Europe. Having a force forward in Europe that's working with our allies that has the right capabilities, has the right characteristics, has the right modernization readiness levels helps us to let people know we still have a force forward that can help us to quickly launch into other parts of the world. So that's very key. General Odierno concluded his visit with a town hall meeting attended by soldiers, civilians and their families.
