If it doesn’t make you more lethal, ditch it, says top Army officer

The acting Army chief of staff and sergeant major shared four focus areas they expect to frame how the service meets a host of challenges during their tenure.
Gen. Randy George, acting chief, and Sergeant Major of the Army Michael Weimer laid out these areas on Tuesday to both an in-person and online audience at the epicenter of Army combat arms, the Maneuver Warfighter Conference at the Maneuver Center of Excellence at Fort Moore, Georgia.
The all-encompassing effort is aimed at a singular focus — warfighting. That will mean tough training but also reducing and even cutting some of the time-consuming, non-warfighting tasks.
“If there are things on your training schedule that are not making you more lethal or more cohesive where you’re taking care of your teammates, then you need to have a discussion about taking that off the schedule and not doing it,” George said.
The four areas cover a wide range but offer specific signals as to how, and where, the new chief plans to lead the Army over the next four years.
