1/3 Our time in the USA has come to an end. The most incredible 30 months of professional challenge and opportunity with @USArmy, and lifelong family memories. It has been a privilege to work in HQDA to serve the soldiers, NCOs, officers, DA civilians and families.

A 🧵 to reflect an incredible week alongside @field_army CFA who was delivering the annual Kermit Roosevelt lectures to @USArmy personnel. His theme was “The Power of Combinations”, and he connected lessons from history to early conclusions from #Ukraine. It was outstanding.
