FORT GREGG-ADAMS, Va. - The 41st Chief of Staff of the Army (CSA), Gen. Randy A. George visited the home of Army Sustainment to look at ongoing training and to better understand the Combined Arms Support Command (CASCOM) and Fort Gregg-Adams’ broad roles, missions, and functions in the modernization of the Army’s Sustainment Warfighting Function, Jan. 28.

The U.S. Army Ordnance School’s Allied Trades division provided a demonstration of their 3-D printing abilities and discussed future capabilities and concepts.

While talking with the Soldiers, the general said he was excited to see them learning their new trades and expects changes in Army formations over the next few years driven by rapidly evolving technology and how our Soldiers will apply it on the modern battlefield.

“It’s an interesting world right now, and part of why I’ve come down here is to see what we're doing, to make sure that we're ready for it, and what we're doing to transform,” he said. “I've been very impressed with what's going on down here, what you are doing to support the whole rest of the, really, the joint force, is all happening right here. So, I want to, I want to thank you for that.”

The Aerial Delivery and Field Services Department provided a brief update and demonstration of their use of radio frequency ID tags to track the use and maintenance of the Army’s parachute systems.

Throughout the visit, the CSA took time to recognize individuals for their contributions to the mission.

“One thing I know is,” he exclaimed, “Is that our soldiers are brilliant!”

CASCOM trains, educates, and develops adaptive Sustainment professionals for the total force while generating, synchronizing, and integrating innovative Army and Joint Sustainment capabilities, concepts, and doctrine to sustain Large Scale Combat Operations in a Multi-Domain environment.
