I don't have a link for this.  I am speechless and not in a good way after reading this.

Whether it is defending the country at home or overseas, our nation counts on the United States Army to be the first line of defense. We stand ready to deter and defend around the globe, as the tip of the spear in Europe and the backbone of joint operations in the Indo-Pacific. The Army surges in times of crisis and is ready when called upon to fight and win the nation's wars.


We are navigating an unpredictable future, and our nation and our Army are at an inflection point. Building on our strong foundational priorities of people, modernization, and readiness, I have defined six objectives to help guide the force through these shifting times. Through these objectives, my goal is to enable the Total Army to achieve specific and tangible outcomes that we can continue to advance in the years ahead.


As we emerge from two decades of counterinsurgency and counterterrorism operations, my first objective is to put the Army on a sustainable strategic path amidst this uncertainty. The Army must find a way to field the cutting-edge formations we need to conduct multi-domain operations while facing increased fiscal pressures. This means difficult choices must be made to sustain and strengthen U.S. deterrence with China as the pacing challenge and Russia as an acute threat we also confront. Charting this path requires a commitment to innovation and experimenting with new ways of operating. The work that is being done in Project Convergence to bring together our sister Services to test new operational concepts and digital technologies is the kind of innovative approach we need to win the future fight. My second objective is to ensure the Army becomes more data-centric and can conduct operations in contested environments, which will enable our ability to prevail on the future battlefield. Doing so will allow us to embrace emerging technologies to become a more effective and efficient force that can project power in cyberspace and defend our networks, weapons, and data from cyber threats.


My third objective is to continue our efforts to be resilient in the face of climate change. As the planet warms, the polar ice caps melt, and extreme weather becomes commonplace, the Army must adapt its installations, acquisition programs, and training to be able to operate in a changing environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our future readiness depends on it.


The cornerstone of America's Army is our people. Three of my six objectives are focused on caring for our Soldiers, families, and Army civilians who are the very foundation of Army excellence. My fourth objective is to build positive command climates at scale across all Army formations. This starts with continued Army leadership and must be developed both from the top down and the bottom up. Character and culture matter, and I am committed to ensuring that we select the best possible leaders and give them the tools and resources to care for their Soldiers. My fifth objective is to reduce harmful behaviors in our Army. This is integral to sustaining a positive command climate at scale. We need to shift from responding to harmful events after they have happened to finding ways to prevent them. To do that we must develop and institutionalize prevention-oriented approaches that year after year will reduce the frequency of harmful behaviors such as sexual harassment and assault, extremist activity, racism, and domestic violence. We need to do more to prevent suicide in the Army. I call on leaders to continue making clear that there is no stigma associated with taking care of yourself and your family. We should strive to connect our Soldiers with the necessary resources for their wellbeing. The Army is its people, and a strong, healthy, resilient, trained force is the most important indicator of our readiness. Finally, the Army is the world's premiere land fighting force because we have brought the nation's best into our ranks. But the talent and recruiting landscape is changing rapidly, so my sixth objective is to strategically adapt the way we recruit and retain talent into the Army in order to sustain the all-volunteer force. We need to tell the Army's story in new ways to ensure we remain the first choice for Americans who want to serve their country. We need to reach out to Americans from all backgrounds, talents, and geographies and give them multiple reasons to come in and stay in our great Army. My goal is to help all Americans to be able to see themselves in what the Army has to offer.


I am excited to continue working with General McConville, Sergeant Major of the Army Grinston and senior leaders throughout the force on the extraordinary opportunities that lay before the Total Army. I look forward to hearing from all of you about how things are across the force. The tasks ahead of us are bigger than any one of us and need every Soldier's and Army civilian's efforts if we are to be successful. Army Strong.

Christine E. Wormuth
Secretary of the Army

shes horrible trust me.

We should play Buzzword Bingo with this.

WTF did I just read?

The Army's job is to engage and destroy the enemy. Period.

What specifically left you speechless?

Just how in the fuck can a civilian split tail, that NEVER served a day in the Army, know what the Army fucking needs?

Okay.

Also sounds like more purging and indoctrination for going after domestic terrorists based on dissenting views posted online or discussed over phones.

Meanwhile we have pushed Putin enough he’s letting nukes fly if NATO globohomos don’t back off.

Interesting times.

Climate, racism and sexism.

That’s what combat readiness revolves around.

But what about purple haired trannies?

How can we hope to fight wars without enhancing our purple haired tranny technology?

For starters.

My third objective is to continue our efforts to be resilient in the face of climate change. As the planet warms, the polar ice caps melt, and extreme weather becomes commonplace, the Army must adapt its installations, acquisition programs, and training to be able to operate in a changing environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. Our future readiness depends on it.

Based on objective three, climate change makes that impossible.

Can she at least take dictation, type and make coffee?

Climate change and diversity, check, Russia and CCP, check.

Fighting the next war vs the last few, possibly.

Lol

What the fuck ever.

Army slogans through the years.

WWI: I want you for U.S. Army.
1980: Be all you can be.
2001: Army of one.
2006: Army strong
Today forward: Join the Army for free bottom surgery and hormone blockers.

It can't even form paragraphs for shehim's 6 points? It needs to go back to 6th grade English and start over.

An Army of Woke.

All I read was, "We are about to have our shit pushed in by the Russians and Chinese, on a scale we haven't seen since WW2 - so let's go woke, commit more purges, and promote the least qualified because feelz."

Yikes.

What a communist whore.  

my goal is to enable the Total Army to achieve specific and tangible outcomes that we can continue to advance in the years ahead

Wonder what those specific sand tangible outcomes could be.

Woke bullshit

If that woman isn't 'woke', I don't know who is.

Why does it so long to build a good, strong military and only months to destroy it (I exaggerate)? Just a few wrong people at the top and...

She needs a secretary or ghostwriter. "My X objective is..." Come on. Even for the army that's poor writing.

When do they circle back with us on progress?

I’ve been out for a couple years…so is ‘Total Army’ the new hotness in ridiculous buzzwords now?

Climate change and diversity bullshit.

She is an administrator and (erroneously) thinks that running the Army like running any other large organization.  

1.  How are you going to do a better job of deterring involvement in conflicts?

2.  How are you going to get other NATO countries to pay their bills and reduce the USA having to foot most of the NATO bills?

3.  How are you going to make the Army more efficient at waging war?...and yes, that involves killing people and destroying things.

4.  How will you get the Army to work more closely with the Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard in order to get the USA's military might to be a more coordinated force?

5.  Why should the American people trust someone who has never served in the Armed forces to effectively run the one of our largest military forces?

ETA: I'm not naive enough to expect that I would ever get straight forward answers to any of the above questions..but straight forward answers would sure help answer #5.

After a deep dive on core competencies using next generation touchpoints in a big data ecosystem.

My third objective is to continue our efforts to be resilient in the face of climate change. As the planet warms, the polar ice caps melt, and extreme weather becomes commonplace, the Army must adapt its installations, acquisition programs, and training to be able to operate in a changing environment and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Reads a like sixth grade essay of why little Debbie wants to be Student Council President. I don't know what Putin is waiting for.

Quoted:

Can she at least take dictation, type and make coffee?[/que]

yes yes no

The Army leadership has some tough cultural trends to deal with, such as this one:

"According to 2017 Pentagon data, 71 percent of young people are ineligible to join the military. The reasons: obesity, no high school diploma, or a criminal record."

She never served and wasn't even a .mil brat.

Putin/Xi/Kim/Aytollah whoeverthefuck are shaking in their boots......

What do you expect from a liberal bureaucrat?  They gotta have some way to funnel money to their buddies for when they're out of office.

Lotsa 'split tails' in the Army.

How about this instead:

"Just how in the fuck can a civilian that never served a day in the Army know what the Army fucking needs?"

Much better.

I see your point, but I don't think it's that bad. I know part of it is just spouting the party line, and after all, what did you expect from a Biden political appointment?  And in typical Biden style, she has zero Army experience; a lifetime gov employee, but I suppose that's the level of experience you need to be the head of the greatest Army in the world in the Biden circus. The whole global warming crap in light of the Army's traditional mission seems a bit hypocritical to me though in light of the 3200 tanks (for example) burning fuel at .3mpg, but in a bigger view, it would make sense to look to the future and think of how we can power our forces without relying on fossil fuels. It makes more sense to me to look at it like that rather than the global warming panic.

Also keep in mind she was unanimously confirmed by the entire Senate, so any blame for her leftist leanings have to be shared between the two parties.

I didn't see anything in her declaration about attracting trannies to the service, thankfully. At least not openly.

Just don’t play the Buzzword shots game. You’ll die

I am so glad I walked away from that shit show. The Afghanistan finale did it for me. Enjoy Task Force Smith Round 2 lady, because it's coming. I feel really bad for the young kids on active duty who are buying into this garbage. It's going to get them killed.

You can tell by her tabs are ribbon bars she has a solid grasp on what the Army needs.

Attrition of hetero male warriors with some Extortion 17 action thrown in.

AND to fight global climate change

and since China is the world leader in green house emissions......

After all the purple hair kids, transgenders, Instagram models and TikTok stars get killed in the next war, which will probably be after I retire, they'll probably recall me and all the other GWOT veterans since it will take to long to replace all of them. The country might run out of ibuprofen and Bengay supporting us, but us old people will win it. Then whoever is in charge will do something that gets us sucked into an insurgency, and we'll withdraw almost 20 years later as losers.

What's the consensus on the best language to learn, Russian, or Chinese?  Asking for a friend...

Looking back on my 2003-2008 enlistment, I’m glad to have served when the Army was still around 90% dedicated to killing terrorists with minimal other bullshit getting injected into our business.

Here's a favorite cartoon from way, way, back that illustrates "Pentagonese" Bravo Sierra and the language this poor demented woman signed on to.
