Defense Writers Group

September 30, 2021

Moderator:  Good morning, everyone.  I’m Thom Shanker, Director of the Project for Media and National Security at George Washington University, and I’m very honored to have as our guest speaker today for this Defense Writers Group session the Sergeant Major of the Army, Michael A. Grinston, whose issues and portfolio and responsibilities could not be more important in the world in which we find ourselves.

As always, I’ll open with the first question.  I have a couple of emails from two or three of you who want to ask, otherwise, please drop me a note in the direct chat and I’ll call on people in the order that you sign up.  So SMA Grinston, welcome to our session.

SMA Grinston:  Thanks, Thom.  Thanks for having me.
