Excerpt from Current Army Issues: Hearings Before the Committee on Armed Services, United States Senate, One Hundred Eighth Congress, First Session, November 19, 2003
Today's Army has an enormous requirement to provide forces for ongoing military operations around the world: over soldiers in the Persian Gulf region, over in Afghanistan, in the Balkans, and the usual number of around in South Korea. This is the greatest army in the world.
I listened to the President of the United States delivering a very significant and major address in Great Britain this morning, in which he expressed the absolute resolve to fulfill the commitments of this Nation and the other nations that have joined us, notably Great Britain, in the war on terrorism. It seems that the bulk of the responsibility, understandably I think, falls on the United States Army.
So we are here for the purpose this morning of working with you to see what we can do here in Congress, and to learn from you how you intend, through your individual and combined leadership, to provide for these forces now and in the future to meet adversity wherever it is in the world.
In mid-october of this year, the Stars and Stripes newspaper ran a series of articles about the morale of soldiers and living condi tions in Iraq. Overall, the poll indicated that most soldiers sur veyed felt unit morale and their own morale was average or better, and most felt living conditions in Iraq were average or better. Of note, however, Reserve and National Guard soldiers rated unit and individual morale somewhat lower than their active duty brothers. I say brothers and sisters because it is a total force, and it is a magnificent force in the fact that they do have the strength of the Guard and Reserve.
