In his first day as the 40th Army chief of staff, Gen. James C. McConville declared that people are his No. 1 priority.
From soldiers and family members to veterans and Army civilians, the Army is about people, McConville said during his Aug. 9 swearing-in ceremony, and he’s not wasting time putting his promise into action with sweeping initiatives designed to better identify and manage soldiers’ and civilian employees’ talents and skills.
He also has identified five priorities to improve quality of life for soldiers, veterans and their families, including better housing and health care.
“People are the Army,†McConville said. “Without our people, we’re just a bunch of combat equipment sitting in motor pools, hangars and arms rooms.â€
