The Army’s new chief has a plan and it’s all about warfighting

With four focus areas and four-stars to lead them, Gen. Randy George expects to ready the Army for a new era of global threats.

He wants to cut obsolete or irrelevant equipment from those property books and has a pilot program starting this month to do so.
