 Army researchers met their new commanding general at a town hall meeting at Adelphi Laboratory Center in Adelphi, Maryland, December 13th. Major General John A. George, who took command of the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command last month, is touring the organizations and meeting face-to-face with Army scientists and engineers. The general said building partnerships across the command is vital for the Army Futures Command. The Army Research Laboratory is the Army's sole fundamental research laboratory focused on cutting-edge science discovery, technological innovation, and transition of knowledge products. The general acknowledged this and discussed the importance of maintaining a workforce ready to build the Army of the Future. If people are generally interested in doing something that's challenging, puts them as a part of a team that gives them a sense of purpose that's larger than themselves, where they can come to work every day in an environment that is fun and that they work with colleagues, that they respect, they're treated with dignity and respect, that's the kind of environment that we want to create which draws the talent here and keeps the talent here. And so that's, in my mind, is another sort of observation that I have. George observed a robotics demonstration and learned how Army researchers are working on autonomy and teeny.
