Anyone who has spent any time in the military will tell you how important leadership is to a unit. Bad leadership can destroy an otherwise good unit and good leadership can resurrect a unit in shambles. My team just got a proverbial adrenaline shot. The Iraqi Division we work with has a new Division Commander. I could not be happier with the selection of this man to lead the Division. Major General M. is a fine Officer and is already making a positive impact on the Division. He is an experienced, combat veteran Infantry Officer. He leads by example, has a good work ethic, empowers his subordinates to take initiative, and holds them accountable. He doesn't put up with any crap and wants to put the US Military in Iraq out of a job. I hope he does. Our rate of progress has increased dramatically as General M. and the MiTT Team are on the same page and want the same things. My only complaint is that they didn't put him in command earlier!

It is so nice to hear good news from the soldiers. The MSM would have you believe it's all a failure there. Thank you and bless you! Stay safe!

Agree with Anna, it's all doom and gloom according to them. Thank you for reporting in with such positive news Major K. You're all in my prayers, keep safe!

Congrats again.. for you, for the new CO and for all who serve under him.

Hi MajK,
That is great news! And you have worked to give him the good staff and NCOs that he needs to be successful. May this be a match made in heaven.
