To Dragon Warriors: Our Home of the Regiment survived a New Year's Eve tornado that took its toll on more than 64 Families and many of our Soldier training areas. Our team here at Fort Leonard Wood, Missouri, was tasked with ensuring that every Family had a place to live and was well cared for within hours of the storm. We were thankful and blessed that only minor injuries resulted. I want to take this opportunity to thank our first responders, garrison command, community, Chemical Corps Regimental Association, leaders, Soldiers, civilians, and Families for their timeliness, support, and commitment.To the Corps: Congratulations! In the past six months, you have continued to sustain Soldiers, Families, and civilians; prepare for success in the current fight; reset returning units; and transform the Army to meet the demands of the 21 st Century. We conducted a critical task selection board for the Senior Leader Course and Advanced Leader Course and proposed a program of instruction change for Advanced Individual Training. These actions are critical in providing the appropriate equipment and training to each Soldier. We remain in an era of persistent conflict, facing an uncertain and increasingly complex strategic environment. Hybrid threats made up of conventional, irregular, criminal, and terrorist capabilities will continue to test our forces. Therefore, we must continue to update our doctrine, develop critical tasks, and prepare our forces for the full spectrum of operations.
