More than half of the Army’s brigade combat teams have achieved top levels of preparedness to fight a major ground war, the service’s top general said Tuesday, noting only three brigades were considered fully prepared to fight in 2015.
Army Gen. Mark Milley, the service’s chief of staff, characterized that common measure of the Army’s combat readiness as a “significant improvement.†Nonetheless, he told members of the Senate Armed Services Committee that the service remained a few years away from achieving the combat readiness goals that he believes would be necessary to fight a major war with a near-peer competitor.
