    Association of the United States Army Voice for the Army—Support for the Soldier October 2015 The U.S. Army in Europe Strategic Landpower in Action The recent deployment of company-sized Army elements to Poland and the Baltic States offers a ru- bric for what . global landpower . may look like going forward. With a relatively small footprint, our Army achieves strategic aims by employing trained and ready units, fully prepared for joint com- bined-arms maneuver, that are adaptive and flexible, prepared to carry out a range of operations with partner nation forces. General Daniel B. Allyn, Vice Chief of Staff, Army Remarks at AUSA’s ILW Hot Topic “Army Networks,” 9 July 2015 Introduction The growing and emerging threats to the glob- al security environment—the velocity of instabili- ty—recently compelled the Department of Defense (DoD) to reexamine its capabilities and capacity for deterrence, sustained operations and reassurance of allies and partners. In contrast to projections in earlier strategic guidance, the regional security and stability in Europe, Africa, the Middle East and the Pacific have deteriorated in the past several years in ways that were not anticipated. Potential adversaries sought to negate America’s strengths, exploit its vul- nerabilities and gain temporary or local superiority in one or more capability areas. Additionally, the more extreme conditions of volatility and instability.

  • National Recognition of Our Armed Forces
    Report of Inquiry into National Recognition of our Armed Forces Report to the Prime Minister by: Quentin Davies MP Bill Clark OBE Ministry of Defence Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA RAF Report of Inquiry into National Recognition of our Armed Forces Report to the Prime Minister by: Quentin Davies MP Bill Clark OBE Ministry of Defence Air Commodore Martin Sharp OBE MA RAF May 2008 Foreword Rt Hon Gordon Brown MP One of the greatest privileges I’ve enjoyed since becoming Prime Minister has been to spend time with the extraordinarily skilled and dedicated men and women of our Armed Forces, and to visit them on the ground in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their courage, their service and their professionalism make an immeasurable contribution both to building peace and stability around the world and to protecting our nation here at home. The Government is acutely aware of the debt we owe our Armed Forces, and our gratitude for the work they do in the service of our country is reflected in our recent initiatives on pay, on tax-free bonuses, on housing and on health care, as well as in our decision to commission a Command Paper on conditions of service and quality of life, which we will be publishing this summer. But beyond these individual initiatives, important though they are, it is vital for our serving men and women, especially those engaged in difficult and dangerous overseas campaigns, to know that the whole of Britain understands and appreciates the work that they do in our name. I believe the British public are fully behind the men and women of our Armed Forces, and people want to do more to pay tribute to them.
