The 3 B's of Armor School: Building the Best-Trained, Best-Led, Best-Equipped Troops

摘要

Armor soldiers and cavalry troopers must thrive in conditions of ambiguity and uncertainty, seeking opportunities to seize, retain and exploit the initiative with the goal of preserving freedom of action for friendly forces while denying options to the enemy. Soldiers rarely come to the Army instinctively knowing how to accomplish all this. It requires tutelage to transform men and women into armor warriors, to instill the skill and drive required for success. Like every other part of the Army, success means turning people into teams.In his first message as the 40th chief of staff of the Army on Aug. 12, 2019, Gen. James McConville wrote, "People are always my No. 1 priority: Our Army's people are our greatest strength and our most important weapon system. Our people are our Soldiers, Family members, Department of the Army Civilians, and Soldiers for Life (retirees, and veterans). We must take care of our people and treat each other with dignity and respect. It is our people who will deliver on our readiness, modernization and reform efforts."
