After more than 35 years of service to this great Nation, I am retiring in January at the end of my term. When I joined the United States Army many years ago, I could not have imagined one day serving at a place as special as the US Army Heritage and Education Center. It has been a tremendous privilege to serve alongside each of the experts there. As I leave office, I am immensely proud of what we have accomplished together over the past five years. General Randy George, our Chief of Staff of the Army, talks about continuous transformation as iteratively adapting and evolving how we fight, how we organize, how we train, and how we equip. Evolving organizations and changing leadership is part of maintaining relevance. It is time. It has been my privilege to serve with America’s finest men and women—in and out of uniform. It has also been an honor to conclude my service, here at USAHEC. It is indeed a special place. Thanks for letting me be a part of that. -geoff
