Introduction

Class
I appreciate the opportunity to be here and learn from each of you. I trust the next several months will be an excellent learning experience. Have an excellent inaugural weekend.

In my time in the Army I have had the opportunity to bear witness to many successes and failures of the United States Army. Without quesiton, our ability to change to meet a changing battlefield and our ability to train and mentor our junior leaders has been a success.

Conversely, our Army continues to fail in many regards. One of our greates failures as an Army in recent times, is our continued violations of Operational Security (OPSEC). We continue to allow our enemies to continue to monitor our TTP's, doctrine and technological processes.
