Our priorities are set by the
Senior Commander. First, Soldiers
must be competent in their basic
skills. Second, reinforcing basic
combat skills forms the core of
our ability to deploy, fight and win.
Finally, people are the Army's
greatest strength and their
involvement in our surrounding
communities makes us an Army
Community of Excellence.
