This is a 60-second Army Now from Soldiers Radio and Television.
I'm Sergeant Ashleigh Torres.
General David Petraeus visits Afghanistan.
Petty Officer Liz Murray has more.
[Murray] Tuesday he stopped by the Kabul Military Training Center
to speak to the soldiers of the Afghan National Army.
During his speech, the general spoke about the importance of strong leadership.
Developing effective Afghan National Security Forces
is critical to building long-term progress
in Afghanistan,
and developing a strong senior Noncommissioned Officer Corps
is critical to building the ANA.
As your sergeant major noted earlier, outstanding senior noncommissioned officers
really are the backbone of any great army and the secret to success of any modern military.
[Murray] General Petraeus will make his way throughout Afghanistan
to see how operations are going.
That's the Army Now. [clock ticking] [♪bass guitar playing♪]
