Brown, who serves as AUSA president and CEO, thanked all in attendance and spoke about the mission of AUSA. "We at Association of the United States Army never forget why we are here; to support America's Army and its Soldiers, regular Army, Army National Guard and Army Reserve, their families and our dedicated Army civilians," said Brown. AUSA's vision is to be recognized by the Army, Congress, industry partners and communities across the nation as the Army’s premier association and the foremost supporter of the Total Army.
