Arlington, Va. (Aug. 21, 2013) -- Several hundred visitors to the Nation's Capital, along with hosts Lt. Gen. Mary A. Legere, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, G-2, and Lt. Gen. Raymond V. Mason, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Army, G-4 watched the U.S. Army Military District of Washington's performance of Twilight Tattoo on Whipple Field at Joint Base Myer - Henderson Hall.

Legere serves as the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-2. She is responsible for policy formulation, planning, programming, and oversight for intelligence activities for the Department of the Army. Army G-2 has the responsibility for overall coordination of the five major intelligence disciplines: Imagery Intelligence, Signals Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Measurement and Signature Intelligence, and Counterintelligence and Security Countermeasures.

Mason serves as the Deputy Chief of Staff, G-4. He is responsible for overseeing the policies and procedures used by U.S. Army logisticians throughout the world. Prior to joining the Army staff, Mason served as the G-4 for U.S. Army Forces Command (FORSCOM). In that position, he directed logistical support to the Army's largest command and was responsible for the readiness of more than eighty percent of the Army's operational forces. Additionally, he also oversaw the sustainment, equipping, training, mobilizing, and deployment of forces to Combatant Commands and worldwide contingencies.

Legere and Mason co-hosted Twilight Tattoo as the show highlighted and recognized the efforts and contributions of the Army G-2 and G-4 to the overall force.

Twilight Tattoo is an hour-long military pageant featuring Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment (The Old Guard) and The U.S. Army Band "Pershing's Own" and will be performed on Whipple Field at JBM-HH.

Audiences experience a glimpse into American history through performances by the U.S. Army Blues, vocalists from the U.S. Army Band, the Old Guard Fife and Drum Corps, and the U.S. Army Drill Team.
