Soldiers are nation's best ambassadors, Fanning says at welcome ceremony

 Lawmakers, leaders from across the Department of Defense, and personal guests welcomed Eric K. Fanning to his new role as the 22nd secretary of the Army, during a full-honor arrival ceremony, June 20, at Summerall Field on Joint Base Myer-Henderson Hall.

"Secretary Fanning served as my chief of staff when I first became secretary of Defense," said Secretary of Defense Ashton B. Carter. "I looked to him to help me recruit and attract a talented and innovative team of civilian and military leaders, many of whom are with us today."
