If there’s one word to describe Army Secretary Christine Wormuth’s tenure so far, it’s “transformation.”

“We know we have to change,” she said in an interview in the Association of the U.S. Army’s 2024–2025 Green Book. “We need to go from an Army focused on counterinsurgency and counterterrorism to an Army focused on and ready for large-scale combat operations against near-peer, nation state-level threats.”

The Army is “on the right path” as it transforms for the future, Army Secretary Christine Wormuth said, but that path will be “steep and rocky” for the next couple of years.

“I think we are facing the most dangerous security environment I’ve seen in my professional career,” she said in an interview in the Association of the U.S. Army’s 2023–2024 Green Book.
