Army Chief of Staff Gen. James McConville says his eye is on the service’s people in the coming year. It’s a wide-ranging priority that involves new software programs, leadership selection courses and investments for families.
But McConville is also closely watching the Army National Guard’s operational tempo, which has been increasing as Guardsmen across the country have been called up to deal with natural disasters, the coronavirus pandemic and social unrest over the past two years. Then there’s the upcoming move to take sexual misconduct charging decisions out of the chain of command, a major step for the military at large.
McConville sat down with Army Times ahead of the Association of the U.S. Army’s annual conference to discuss those matters. The following interview has been edited for brevity and clarity.
Thanks for taking the time to sit down with us. Can you lay out your “people agenda” for the upcoming fiscal year?
