Thank you SGM Gills for that great introduction. Good morning, everyone. Thank you for the opportunity to take a few minutes to talk to you today. To all the general officers, senior commanders, fellow sergeants majors, Army civilians, and of course, our Soldiers who are here today who took part in this forum. You will make a difference. It's truly an honor to be here to talk about something that is important to all of us; something that can destroy the morale and cohesion of a unit faster than anything else you can imagine, and that's Sexual Harassment and Sexual Assault.

Gen. George W. Casey, Jr.'s remarks during the Oct. 26, 2010 AUSA Congressional Staffer Breakfast.

Oct 29, 2010

SOS is two years old now. What I want to know is how we are doing on this... After five years of war, we were still doing the basics. It was clear that we had to do more...

Oct 27, 2010

It's great to be here with you. This is our third Family Forum. What I'd like to do today is talk to you broadly about the context that I receive over the years so that you have a context about what's going on with Family programs. And, I'll talk to you a little bit about what you're hearing about the budget.

Oct 27, 2010

In my brief time as Secretary, I have seen up close these brave young men and women tested under the stress of some nine years of conflict in two theaters of war. I've seen their courage. I've had the honor of awarding their valor and stood humbly and sadly by them as they wept at the loss of a fallen comrade. Of course, much of what America at large has seemed to lose sight of is the depth and the breadth of the service of the America Soldier.

Oct 26, 2010

So, it's that time of year. I get to take a few minutes and tell you how I see the state of the Army and talk a bit about how we see the future. No surprise, I will stick with what I have done for the last three years. And I think it's important because we are just coming out of a fairly significant and stressful period, and we're beginning to move in a much better direction for this Army.

"This is wonderful for me to come back for several reasons. One is that it's personal. I have watched this library move from holding 18,000, which is where it was when I first came here as Chief of Staff [of 1st Cavalry Division]. "

Sep 13, 2010

"One of the things I see across the Army as we try to change and go forward is that people want to go back to the "good old days." Before September 11th, we were a largely garrison-based Army. And we lived to train. We certainly were not the combat seasoned force we are now. And I have to tell folks, "We're never going back there." The New Normal, such as it is, is going to be fundamentally different than what we all knew before September 11th. As I've said, it's changed us."

Jul 23, 2010

"There are lots of old friends, constituents, and folks from my teenage days here. I know they are very surprised to see me standing so close to the Chief of Police. I think this is the first time I could do this without my heart pounding."

"I've been a Chief of Staff of a Division and a Chief of Staff of a Corps, and those are the second most thankless jobs I've ever had."

"Today is Father's Day - a day set aside more than 40 years ago by [President] Lyndon Johnson to remind us all that we need to be thankful for what our father s do for us, and to give us a day to honor them. It's a day that has brought us all here to this wall, bound together by a common experience - the loss of our fathers in Vietnam."

This nation, in order to continue to field the best, most effective military and Army the world has ever seen, we have to take care of the Soldier and his and her family as well.

Oct 6, 2009

I have to tell you that the days ahead, of course, are of great challenge. We find ourselves faced, it seems at times, by more crises than there are hours in the day in which to confront them. But I can tell you this as well: failure is not an option. We will, we can, we must succeed. And as more than 230 years in the history of this great U.S. Army has shown you, the men and women who put that uniform on will be equal to this challenge as long as we stand by them, as long as you in the AUSA and we in the civilian and military leadership provide them with the tools that they need.
