You've taught me a bunch in 28:19.330 --> 28:21.386 the process . I will just tell you , 28:21.386 --> 28:23.274 you're a great soldier , you're a 28:23.274 --> 28:25.386 phenomenal leader . Uh , and you're a 28:25.386 --> 28:27.330 tremendous commander . You will be 28:27.330 --> 28:29.441 visiting his command . But I know you 28:29.441 --> 28:31.608 have a bright , bright future . So how 28:31.608 --> 28:30.400 about 28:36.540 --> 28:38.707 now ? Our senior leaders wouldn't take 28:39.000 --> 28:41.111 out of this command without replacing 28:41.111 --> 28:43.278 him with another one of our best . And 28:43.278 --> 28:45.611 so we welcome David Wilson and his wife , 28:45.611 --> 28:47.778 Patricia . They are no strangers and I 28:47.778 --> 28:49.889 know this is gonna sound cliche , but 28:49.889 --> 28:52.111 there are no strangers to army material 28:52.111 --> 28:54.333 command . An army sustainment command . 28:54.333 --> 28:56.500 David had commanded way back as a , as 28:56.500 --> 28:58.667 a colonel , uh , an army field support 28:58.667 --> 29:01.000 for Dave . Uh , and then he served time 29:01.010 --> 29:04.010 at AMC headquarters . And so I just 29:04.010 --> 29:06.190 want to welcome them . Uh , I got to 29:06.190 --> 29:08.134 know David very well when he and I 29:08.134 --> 29:09.968 served together an Army Material 29:09.968 --> 29:12.023 command at that time , he was the XO 29:12.023 --> 29:14.134 for general by and I was the chief of 29:14.134 --> 29:16.246 staff at AMC . We both left in august 29:16.246 --> 29:18.246 and 16 and I assume command of army 29:18.246 --> 29:20.412 sustainment command . And by the way , 29:20.412 --> 29:22.523 of course , I didn't mention , I know 29:22.523 --> 29:22.030 you probably still cleaning up after my 29:22.030 --> 29:25.020 mess but uh but I would just tell you 29:25.020 --> 29:27.131 that Dave went on to become the chief 29:27.131 --> 29:29.353 of ordinance as a one star and then the 29:29.353 --> 29:31.930 J . Four U . S . Forces Korea . Uh 29:31.940 --> 29:33.940 There is nobody better to take this 29:33.940 --> 29:36.560 command that David Wilson and Patricia . 29:36.570 --> 29:38.890 And so he joins us now after commanding 29:38.900 --> 29:41.067 the eighth theater sustainment command 29:41.067 --> 29:43.178 in Hawaii for the last two years when 29:43.178 --> 29:45.178 he did an absolutely phenomenal and 29:45.178 --> 29:47.950 outstanding job . I wanted him to come 29:47.950 --> 29:50.117 in here and take his command because I 29:50.117 --> 29:52.339 knew he could continue to progress what 29:52.339 --> 29:54.420 chris Mohan has done . So David , I 29:54.420 --> 29:56.780 would just tell you given fantastically 29:56.780 --> 29:58.891 well for those who are listening here 29:58.891 --> 30:00.780 to my speech . David has a strong 30:00.780 --> 30:02.960 reputation as being a master low 30:02.960 --> 30:05.660 decision , a tremendous mentor , an 30:05.660 --> 30:07.771 outstanding coach and an unparalleled 30:07.771 --> 30:10.470 trainer and above all a great commander . 30:10.480 --> 30:13.210 So it's not cliche that that's when I 30:13.210 --> 30:15.377 think that he absolutely unequivocally 30:15.377 --> 30:17.720 is the right person . Take this command 30:17.730 --> 30:20.210 at the right time . And David also has 30:20.210 --> 30:22.321 a great family . He and Patricia have 30:22.321 --> 30:24.700 an American 28 years . What's your 30:24.710 --> 30:28.690 anniversary ? You start to 30:28.690 --> 30:32.520 think about anniversary ?

How 31:15.582 --> 31:15.530 about a round of applause ? 31:20.840 --> 31:23.160 I don't think , I don't think Rebecca 31:23.160 --> 31:26.670 made it .

I truly appreciate your 37:04.512 --> 37:06.679 confidence , leadership and membership 37:06.679 --> 37:08.846 not only over the last year , but over 37:08.846 --> 37:11.012 the more than 30 plus years that we've 37:11.012 --> 37:13.234 known each other in general . Daily and 37:13.234 --> 37:15.457 I were in the same battalion when I was 37:15.457 --> 37:17.346 a Hotness Lieutenant and he was a 37:17.346 --> 37:19.568 singer , first Lieutenant Captain . And 37:19.568 --> 37:21.910 look at us now , what ? 37:23.230 --> 37:26.780 Right . So I came here to serve as your 37:26.780 --> 37:29.002 commanding general a little more than a 37:29.002 --> 37:31.169 year ago and in fact almost exactly 13 37:31.169 --> 37:33.391 months ago . And let me tell you what , 37:33.391 --> 37:35.558 it's been a wild ride and never a dull 37:35.558 --> 37:37.724 moment . So now my time is A . S . C . 37:37.724 --> 37:39.669 Is over and it's a time , but I'll 37:39.669 --> 37:41.891 certainly never forget . So I can stand 37:41.891 --> 37:43.836 up here all day and talk about the 37:43.836 --> 37:43.740 great accomplishments of the command , 37:43.740 --> 37:45.851 the work that you've done . But quite 37:45.851 --> 37:47.962 frankly that would take all day and I 37:47.962 --> 37:50.340 think might give me a ring of Style 37:50.340 --> 37:52.820 council and I'm not down for that . So , 37:52.820 --> 37:55.330 these would say the people listen to 37:55.330 --> 37:57.950 the people of this command have been 37:58.530 --> 38:00.890 and continue to be at the point of 38:00.890 --> 38:03.940 impact for our army if there's action 38:03.940 --> 38:06.490 going on in the army , A . S . C . Is 38:06.490 --> 38:08.768 there . If the soldiers getting it , A . 38:08.768 --> 38:11.290 S . C . Is there .

Welcome And when 38:19.370 --> 38:21.203 when General David said at 1st I 38:21.203 --> 38:23.314 thought when I was thinking about all 38:23.314 --> 38:25.500 the large cap sites we set up that 38:25.500 --> 38:27.389 summer training . The PCS session 38:27.389 --> 38:30.040 season A . P . S .

Major General 54:37.002 --> 54:39.058 David Wolfe and the new commander of 54:39.058 --> 54:41.660 army sustainment command . And I'm 54:41.660 --> 54:43.882 excited to be here . I've heard nothing 54:43.882 --> 54:46.104 but great things about the quiet cities 54:46.104 --> 54:49.930 area . It's a great place that 54:50.040 --> 54:53.640 really supports the Rock Island arsenal 54:53.640 --> 54:56.010 and the military community . And while 54:56.010 --> 54:58.177 the relationship between the community 54:58.730 --> 55:00.619 and the Arsenault is strong , I'm 55:00.619 --> 55:02.730 committed to making it stronger . You 55:02.730 --> 55:05.130 know , I'm a soldier , I'm a part of 55:05.130 --> 55:08.650 America's army and as an american , I 55:08.650 --> 55:10.900 believe that it's important and I'll 55:10.900 --> 55:13.920 quote to quote the citadel prayer , the 55:13.920 --> 55:16.110 cadet prayer that I learned some 35 55:16.110 --> 55:19.180 years ago at the citadel that we should 55:19.190 --> 55:21.570 prove ourselves worthy citizens of our 55:21.580 --> 55:24.520 country , devoted the truth given the 55:24.520 --> 55:26.790 unselfish service and loyal to every 55:26.790 --> 55:29.300 obligation and so to do this though , 55:30.040 --> 55:32.430 that requires us to continue to engage . 55:32.440 --> 55:34.760 And so I'm committed to engaging with 55:34.760 --> 55:38.540 the community and the leaders at 55:38.550 --> 55:40.650 all levels . And I look forward to 55:40.660 --> 55:42.716 getting out and seeing what the quad 55:42.716 --> 55:44.827 cities has to offer along with me and 55:44.827 --> 55:48.180 my family . So general , I guess 55:48.750 --> 55:51.370 in that show where some changes you 55:51.370 --> 55:53.426 have personally that you want to put 55:53.426 --> 55:56.040 into the well at the end of the day , 55:56.200 --> 55:58.430 you know , as a leader coming in , 55:58.840 --> 56:01.960 change is not the thing that we orient 56:01.960 --> 56:04.016 ourselves on . We make an assessment 56:04.016 --> 56:06.127 first as to how we're doing and so my 56:06.127 --> 56:07.793 job will be to make the right 56:07.793 --> 56:10.720 assessment and then continue to ensure 56:10.720 --> 56:14.330 that we are securing the resources to 56:14.330 --> 56:16.552 make things better on the arsenal . You 56:16.552 --> 56:18.608 heard me in the speech . That good . 56:18.608 --> 56:20.608 Better best . Never let it rest for 56:20.608 --> 56:20.480 your good is better and your better 56:20.520 --> 56:23.020 best . I'm committed leaving it better 56:23.020 --> 56:25.020 than I found it and I can't do that 56:25.020 --> 56:27.570 until I assess who we are and that will 56:27.570 --> 56:30.560 be the first first order principle for 56:30.560 --> 56:33.340 me as I get to work in the command 56:34.930 --> 56:37.152 some , some sir , can you talk a little 56:37.152 --> 56:39.097 bit about what you're most excited 56:39.097 --> 56:41.208 about with supporting troops here and 56:41.208 --> 56:43.097 abroad ? Especially with look , I 56:43.097 --> 56:45.110 commanded a brigade , uh , an Army 56:45.140 --> 56:47.850 Material command under this command , 56:47.850 --> 56:50.072 Army sustainment Command , the 406 Army 56:50.072 --> 56:52.239 Field Support Brigade . And I can tell 56:52.239 --> 56:54.461 you if a soldier drives it , flies , it 56:54.461 --> 56:56.461 shoots it , eats it or communicates 56:56.461 --> 56:58.739 with it army Material Command provides . 56:58.739 --> 57:00.850 And this command is the execution arm 57:00.850 --> 57:02.906 of Army Material Command . That does 57:02.906 --> 57:02.840 that 57:08.130 --> 57:08.600 look at that ?
