Today I visited @OfficialFortSill and the @USArmy Fires Center of Excellence, where we're training to kill at longer ranges and dominate the skies by taking out drones. We discussed Long Range Fires, toured the Joint C-UAS University, and spoke with Soldiers about quality of life. Finally, I visited a medical clinic, child development center, and met with young officers — because investing in lethality means investing in people too.
From precision craftsmanship at Rock Island Arsenal to cutting-edge innovation at @armyfutures in Austin—this week was all about seeing how we build, equip, and transform our @USArmy for the future.
Incredible to meet the teams pushing boundaries in readiness, modernization, and next-gen capabilities—ensuring our Soldiers stay ready for whatever comes next.
What a great unit Army 250th Birthday Ball. An amazing army veteran- Mr. Reed joined our youngest soldier to cut the birthday cake. Mr. Reed is 88 yrs old and has two tours each in the Korean and Vietnam wars. He is active in the local community. Inspirational!!
Home for the holidays. The trainee to my left referred the two to my right to join the Army. Same highschool!! Future wheeled mechanics and battle buddies to the end.
