    First decade of the 21st Century in U.S. Army in Europe By U.S. Army Europe Public Affairs Dec. 29, 2010 Jan. 1, 2001, dawned on a relatively peaceful U.S. Army in Europe led by Gen. Montgomery C. Meigs and Command Sgt. Maj. David Lady. Ten years later, the winter sun still rises after physical training has started, and we still have troops in Kosovo, but now Gen. Carter Ham and Command Sgt. Maj. Capel lead a much leaner force actively engaged in Afghanistan and Iraq as well as throughout Eurasia. When the decade began, the commander-in-chief was William J. Clinton. As we move into 2011 it is Barack Obama. As President Obama has said, “For more than six decades, Europeans and Americans have stood shoulder to shoulder because our work together advances our interests and protects the freedoms we cherish as democratic societies. As the world has changed, so too has our alliance, and we are stronger, safer and more prosperous as a result.” As always, Army doctrine, organization, training, materiel, and NORMANDY, France -- U.S. Army Europe's Staff Sgt.
