Defense Writers Group
23 February 2023
Moderator: Welcome to this special Defense Writers Group. We have all three senior leaders of one of the armed forces. Of course I’ll introduce them, but they truly need no introduction. We have the Secretary of the Army, the Honorable Christine Wormuth; we have the Army Chief of Staff, General James McConville; and the Sergeant Major of the Army, Command Sergeant Major Michael Grinston. Our ground rules are the same as always. This is on the record, but there is no rebroadcast of either audio or video. I’ll ask the first question, and then I’ll go to a list of those who emailed me in advance. If we get through those, and it’s a long list already, I will go to the floor. So to all of you, thank you so much for the great honor of being with us here today. Whether we’re entering a new Cold War or just a very very complicated new age of danger, I’d really love for each of you to describe for us what is your number one priority over the coming year and why. Madame Secretary?
Secretary Wormuth: First of all, thanks everybody for being here this morning.
