Reducing the Army’s value to a handful of “core competencies” (air defense, sustainment, command and control) ignores the inherent interdependencies of joint operations, the complexities of modern warfare, and the multidomain environment.

From the interior of Australia to the mountains of Japan, and across to the islands of Taiwan and the plains of India, we stand shoulder to shoulder with partners who share our commitment to peace, prosperity, and the rule of law.
