CONCLUSION Right now we are entering a period unlike any other in our history—simul- taneously drawing down the force, reorganizing and preparing for the future while remaining engaged in nearly 150 countries, including Afghanistan. Some people will focus on uncertainty, but I believe our future is bright—primarily because of the tremendous talent within our workforce. Our imperative is to pro- cure the needs of our warfighters and always support the fight.


In equipping the force in two theaters during


the last decade, we brought


enormous value to the warfighter. We developed solid relationships with our men and women in uniform and our industrial base partners. We formed last- ing bonds based on trust, respect and confidence. Tese close working rela- tionships don’t just happen. We must maintain and leverage these bonds and competencies as we prepare for the future and its new challenges. I am confident that our dynamic workforce will capital- ize on this opportunity and continue to provide our Soldiers with the world’s fin- est equipment.


Every day, I remain mindful of the many sacrifices that you and your families make in keeping our Army the best-equipped and best-trained force on earth.

Tank you for your steadfast dedication and strong support for our Soldiers.
