In preparing for war, the Army cannot assume anything, the commander of Army Forces Command said.
“We cannot assume we’ll have the time to train. We cannot assume we’ll be familiar with the terrain,” Gen. Michael Garrett said during the recent Maneuver Warfighter Conference at Fort Benning, Georgia. “We cannot assume we’ll know where we will fight next. We cannot afford to orient our sights only along one theater.”
Because of that uncertainty, the Army must train “relentlessly,” he said.
“The world will always change, as well as the environments in which we operate and the technology we use, but what will never change is the foundation that allows our force to fight and win,” Garrett said. “And that’s the soldiers who have mastered the fundamentals of their warfighting tasks.”
