This is the gist of what U.S. Army Chief of Staff General George Casey told an editor from the Chief Executive Magazine, J.P. Donlon.
The U.S. military has learned that it must adopt to the new playing field in the world of war and violence; the military learned that as a result of the wars launched in Iraq and Afghanistan, according to Donlon. He asked Casey a number of cogent questions regarding how the army is coping with the challenge of a transformational change in strategy and tactics -- as a response to the new kind of war, terrorism.
One of the ways that Casey will lead his army into that pivotal strategic transformation is to educate himself. He is committed to leading the charge by becoming knowledgeable about how commercial civilian companies go about transforming themselves.

The editor asked him how he will go about gaining the support (financial and political) from Congress, given the recession and tight budgets. To that he said that he will make the case that there are new conflicts that involve extreme acts by terrorists, and the U.S. must be prepared to deal with them.

He downplayed China's threat to the U.S., he urged civilian employers to hire army veterans, and said the most difficult thing he ever did was to try to assist three different Iraqi governments to become organized democratic states, while fighting insurgencies at the same time.

Army Customs and Courtesies. Army Customs, Courtesies, and Traditions Life in the United States Army is very different from the everyday life of the American citizen, and there are very good reasons for this. Army life is highly structured and regulated, something that is absolutely necessary when called upon to actually fight in battle. And since the function of the Army is to fight wars, and since wars could begin at any
The war against Al-Qaeda is asymmetrical and its methods must become the methods of the United States Army in the fight against global terrorists. It has become the tactics and strategy of necessity in Iraq and Afghanistan. While elite forces are most familiar with it, it must again become the natural instinct of every soldier from general to private. They must learn to plug into networks of potential fighters
