Values, Priorities, and Goals
We must continue to be grounded with the Army Values while being positive change agents in the Armor and Cavalry community through producing Armor and Cavalry Soldiers and leaders that return to the operational force well-versed in the Army Values and are well-trained, well-led, well-equipped, and well-prepared to successfully plan, coordinate, and execute combined arms maneuver, reconnaissance and security operations, and domestic support operations as part of a joint and combined arms team engaged in Multi-Domain Operations (MDO), regardless of the mission or environment.
