Hon. Patrick J. Murphy praises U.S. Army Reserve for contributions to Army’s Total Force
The Hon. Patrick J. Murphy, Acting Secretary of the Army, addresses U.S. Army Reserve senior leaders at the Iron Mike Conference, April 23, 2016, Fort Bragg, NC. Murphy summed his time with the senior leaders by saying the Army is “America’s varsity team” and needs to be ready at a moment’s notice. And the U.S. Army Reserve is an integral part of the team. “When the President or these governors ask us to respond, we can’t say, ‘I’m sorry.’ We’ve got to be ready to go. We’ve got be ready to go tonight. That’s why readiness is so important,” Murphy said. He also was the guest speaker later in the evening at the U.S. Army Reserve 108th anniversary ball.
