It gives me great pleasure to return to Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, to serve as the 98th Commandant of the U.S. Army Engineer School (USAES). The past several months have been exciting. I had the opportunity to meet and recruit future engineer Soldiers at the U.S. Military Academy–West Point, New York. I also met our newest engineer Soldiers going through One Station Unit Training, talked to our engineer officers attending the Command and General Staff College, Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, and engaged with engineer units in the operating force. I have had the opportunity to see in earnest how we are developing the concepts for a multidomain operationcapable force. While the multidomain operation force seems far away, the reality is that we have already begun incorporating capabilities in the current force. As we step into the future, we must not forget that our Nation expects us to be ready today.
