The Army is about to get a new Chief of Staff. In addition we have recently seen a new Sergeant of the Army put in place.
Now, GEN Mark Milley comes with a strong resume. He was an Infantry officer that has also spent time in Special Forces. The last CoS to have done that was GEN Shoomaker who was brought out of retirement to assume the duty. The Army is relying heavily on Special Forces and they are one of the few places in the Army that really hasn't seen a budget cut. Their role is becoming more and more crucial to national security. I am sure he will be able to lend his experience in this to lead the new Army in a post conventional war era. In addition we now have SMA Dan Dailey, who is also an infantryman. He is already a positive impact on the Army.
The Army is now being led by leaders that come from the Infantry. What impact will this have on the Army as we transition? The Army as a whole is moving into a lighter fighting force that is more focused on light fighting forces more than ever. With the Brigade Combat Teams receiving a new battalion to maneuver and the new leadership both being infantry is the Army going to focus on their infantry assets more? How is this going to affect the rest of the Army?
*And they are both Tabbed. RLTW!

I expect them to do what every other CoS and SMA do lead by example develope long term plans and strategies for training and devolping the lighter fighting force that we are transitioning to. With this will come there intents and we have many of great Officers and NCOs that will execute the intent to keep the force running strong just as it did the last time we reduced our Military in size.

CPT (Join to see) Sir to my knowledge GEN Milley has also only been nominated and not yet approved by the senate to take this pisotion. So to post him in a picture as the CoS is a little premature.

That maybe true but I can't recall the last time a nomination didn't go through and on the first line it says that the Army is about to get a new CoS.

I don't see why he wouldn't. Tons of experience, both practical and educational. He brings a lot to the table.
