Army Chief of Staff outlines future for ROTC top cadets: "Gen. George W. Casey, the Army’s top officer, said he expects American troops to spend at least the next decade thwarting threats around the world.
“These are ruthless men and women,” he said, referring to terrorist groups and non-state organizations intent on furthering their agendas through violence and intimidation.
“They’re going to have to be beaten. It’s going to be a long-term struggle.”
Speaking to Army ROTC’s top cadets on the campus of Washington and Lee University, Casey outlined the Army they will soon join, detailed the transforming force and spotlighted the environment that will challenge the new officers’ mettle. This was the third year the chief of staff has addressed Marshall winners."
