I want to make this the best place in the Army to work. I want folks to be able to walk into work every day and smile and say 'I've got a great place to work. I've got a hard mission to do.

You just feel the energy of the team that's here doing great work for the Army. Everything we wear and eat as soldiers somehow comes out of this place.

BG Daniel P. Hughes Commanding General, Natick Soldier Systems Center
