Army Chief Taking Hard Look At Building Advise-And-Assist Brigades

WASHINGTON — Army Chief of Staff Gen. Mark Milley said Thursday he is taking a hard look at developing advise-and-assist brigades that could be bolstered with more soldiers in times of emergency.

Milley has said the service needs to come up with ways to quickly regenerate the force as its end strength shrinks and threats around the world continue to crop up unexpectedly.
