Leadership means showing up, engaging with those on the ground and recognizing their work. Brig. Gen. Leland D. Blanchard II visited Soldiers assigned to JTF-DC and partner agencies conducting presence patrols, reinforcing teamwork, coordination and public safety across DC.
When seconds count, training matters. When lives are on the line, readiness makes the difference!
