@RAnglians @7thRats Met some of these @RAnglians going through LHR just after Christmas. Polite and proficient despite the circumstances. The CSM smiled at the kids too! Thank you.

1/3 Our time in the USA has come to an end. The most incredible 30 months of professional challenge and opportunity with @USArmy, and lifelong family memories. It has been a privilege to work in HQDA to serve the soldiers, NCOs, officers, DA civilians and families.

2/3 Thank you to the brilliant teammates who supported tirelessly, coached patiently and laughed heartily. I am more prepared for the next mission because of you all.

A 🧵 to reflect an incredible week alongside @field_army CFA who was delivering the annual Kermit Roosevelt lectures to @USArmy personnel. His theme was “The Power of Combinations”, and he connected lessons from history to early conclusions from #Ukraine. It was outstanding.
