 And now, for your strong Europe spotlight. Lieutenant General Ben Hodges, commander of U.S. Army Europe, welcomed German Brigadier General Kai Rohrschneider as the second multinational chief of staff. This is a symbol of the trust that we have that a German officer is the chief of staff of U.S. Army Europe. 30,000 soldiers, hundreds of millions of dollars of budget. He is responsible for all of it. Rohrschneider replaces outgoing Brigadier General Markus Laubenthal who was thanked by Hodges for his outstanding leadership as U.S. Army Europe chief of staff. Laubenthal said it was a distinct pleasure to serve within the command at a time of significant importance. U.S. Army Europe has set the pace in support of powerful NATO decisions and has in parallel invited our host nation Germany to take a transparent look at what we do here in Wiesbaden for Germany and for Europe and for NATO.
