ASSOCIATION OF THE UNITED STATES ARMY

Future warfare and how the military thinks about it will be the focus of a new series of papers published by the Association of the U.S. Army.

In one of his first messages to the force, Sgt. Maj. of the Army Michael Weimer called on NCOs to set the example for their soldiers.

The Association of the U.S. Army is releasing three new podcasts in August as part of its relaunched “Army Matters” series.

First up is a two-part series focused on what the next generation of Army leaders think, featuring ROTC and Junior ROTC cadets.

Many of today’s Army leaders started out as cadets in ROTC or Junior ROTC. AUSA digs deeper to find out what the youth in the programs today think about the Army and the world around them.

From responding to the COVID-19 pandemic to pushing for changes to the Army’s policies on tattoos and socks, the sergeant major of the Army plays an important role in taking care of soldiers, tending to morale and making sure the service’s top leaders have a good feel for the state of the force.

Army Forces Command’s top NCO gave an address about what’s different about “kids these days” that wasn’t what you’d expect of someone celebrating his 53rd birthday.

The keynote speaker on the second day of the Association of the U.S. Army’s 2023 Warfighter Summit and Exposition in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Command Sgt. Maj. Todd Sims said it is important to understand what makes today’s younger soldiers “tick” so leaders can be prepared to lead them and get the most from their service.
