Asan example, as units address the personnel and equipmentchallenges associated with sourcing the operational Army,we must see through the immediate hardships and shortcom-ings that you consistently overcome, and focus on the long-term benefits of all your hard work. There is a lot of goodnessin persevering through the challenges to achieve the endstate of our Regiment. The USAES Fusion Cell efforts, whichnow include the Active Army and Reserve Component forces,are the pinnacle of much success.
