As Army Chief McConville Prepares To Depart, His Service Is In Its Best Shape In Decades (From Forbes)

The U.S. Army is in great shape today–well-trained, ready for combat, and increasingly equipped with the best weapons in the world. A lot of the credit for this goes to General James McConville, who served first as the Army’s Vice Chief and then as the Chief of Staff during the Trump and Biden years. McConville is retiring from military service this summer after a 40-year career that saw command in multiple wars and shepherded the service into the modern era. General McConville is the first to admit that he doesn’t deserve all the credit for what the Army has achieved, but without soldiers like him, the service would not be the beacon of strength and professionalism it has become. I have written a commentary for Forbes here.
