Think about it- the US Army itself was formed on the premise of change. The very reason for our inception was to protect the people of this Great Nation as they sought after an idea to become a free and independent one- a change from the way things had been up until the American Revolution. To this day we exist to serve the people, to defend the nation, and to protect its interests. All of which undoubtedly change over time. To remain the world’s premier fighting force, our Soldiers and our Army must also change- continuously- at an unprecedented pace.

Change is inevitable. The only thing that doesn’t change is change itself. We will always have change. These may be clichés but there is always a modicum of truth in our clichés. Discussing change is a timely topic at this time. Both the 95th and 98th Divisions received new Division Commanders and Division Command Sergeant’s Majors. And that is just the tip of the iceberg. As you are reading this article, it is likely fall where the seasons are changing from late summer to fall and the leaves are changing colors. Again, change is inevitable. We may all say that we don’t like change but we should actually embrace change. Because through change, we get to see growth and rebirth.

Hello Timberwolves,

This summer, the division command sergeant major and I were able to visit our Cadet Summer Training support at Ft. Knox, Kentucky, and at the United States Military Academy in West Point, New York. It was amazing to see the Timberwolves in action, leading and developing the next generation of officers. In the execution of our mission, we saw great examples of the Timberwolves demonstrating the Army values for cadets, fellow Timberwolves and the rest of the Army. Here are a few of our observations of the Army values in action:

Greetings Timberwolves! First, let me introduce myself as I’m relatively new to the division and then I’d like to share a few key experiences I had at Cadet Summer Training this summer.
