Congratulations on your promotion to the field grade ranks in the U.S. Army. The Army values your demonstrated ability and your observed potential to continue the mission of fighting and winning our nation’s wars. More so, your promotion to major is a testament to the soldiers, NCOs, and fellow officers with whom you’ve served. It’s recognition of their endless dedication and your leadership. But there are some things you need to remember as you move forward. This letter serves as a reminder to stay grounded – as much as things change, some lessons are timeless.
Gen. Michael X. Garrett, FORSCOM Commander, visited the 3rd Cavalry Regiment out in ‘The Box’ while at the National Training Center. While on site he engaged with senior leaders and troopers discussing lessons learned during the rotation.
