Congressman Williams Attends Army Futures Command Activation Ceremony

AUSTIN, TEXAS – Congressman Roger Williams (R-Austin), attended the activation ceremony for the Army Futures Command, alongside the Secretary of Army, Dr. Mark T. Esper, and the Chief of Staff of Army, General Mark A. Milley.

"Today's Army Futures Command activation marks a historic step for the United States Army and the State of Texas. I was proud to work alongside our military leadership to bring the Army's modernization mission to Central Texas," said Rep. Williams. "For nearly two decades, we've asked our soldiers to defend America across the globe in complex, uncertain, and challenging environments. Whether tasked with deterring Russian aggression, taking the fight to ISIS in Iraq and Syria, or supporting our partners in Afghanistan, the Army has answered the call. Under the leadership of LTG (P) Murray, I am certain that the Army Futures Command will fulfill its mission to modernize the Force and provide our war fighters with the equipment they need to fight and win on any frontier. I am grateful for the warm welcome that Austin has provided, and I am excited for all that Texas will offer our Army."
