CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Maj. Gen. Andrew Juknelis took the reins of the 108th Training Command, Initial Entry Training (IET) Feb. 8, 2020, during a ceremony at the U.S. Reserve Center before Soldiers, friends, family and distinguished guests.

Mission Command is designed for times exactly like these. As I write this, we are still early in the COVID-19 epidemic and response within the United States and within the Army. Conditions change rapidly and we often need to make decisions with the information we have at hand, and not the information we wish we had. In a very fluid environment, we simply do not have time to wait to make decisions.
