Army Under Secretary welcomes home division leadership, recognizes Fort Campbell as 'gem'


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."
