Army Under Secretary welcomes home
division leadership, recognizes Fort Campbell as 'gem'
Under Secretary of the Army Joseph
W. Westphal visited Fort Campbell Friday, to welcome back the command group of
the 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), as they returned from Afghanistan,
where the division headquarters has spent the last year commanding Regional
Command-East. Prior to the command group's arrival, Westphal met with senior
commander Brig. Gen. Mark R. Stammer and division leadership during a
roundtable discussion, held at division's headquarters. Topics covered included
resiliency programs, impacts of financial constraints on training and command
concerns. As he addressed the roundtable
panel, Westphal relayed Secretary of the Army John M. McHugh's message to
leaders, that even while the Army is currently challenged with issues such as
ethics, sexual assault and suicide and the pressures that go along with each,
leaders should not lose sight of the tremendous force that is fighting for this
Nation on a daily basis. "Our entire Army family is doing a great job for
America," said Westphal. "They are strong and they are
resilient."
