Merry Christmas to our Soldiers around the world. Whether you are home, on duty, or deployed, your discipline, sacrifice, and commitment to our nation define the very best of the @USArmy. Wishing you peace, joy, and time with those who matter most during the holiday season.🎄

It is with profound sadness that we confirm the loss of four brave Soldiers from the 160th SOAR (A) in the Sept. 17 aircraft mishap near Joint Base Lewis-McChord: CW3 Andrew Cully, CW3 Andrew Kraus, Sgt. Donavon Scott, and Sgt. Jadalyn Good. These Soldiers embodied courage, dedication, and an unwavering commitment to the mission. Their loss is deeply felt across the Special Operations community. We extend our heartfelt condolences to their families, friends, and teammates. We are grateful to the first responders and recovery teams. The legacy of these Night Stalkers will forever live on. Night Stalkers Don’t Quit.

Members of our @USArmy continue to remind us why they are the best of our nation, this time by a Cadet. Cadet Larry Pickett Jr., a football player from the @WestPoint_USMA, pulled a man from a burning vehicle—an act of extraordinary courage and selflessness. This young leader embodies the highest values of the Army and West Point: duty, honor, country. He showed that he can stand ready to act under pressure, whether on the football field, in his community, or in the future with the Soldiers under his command. We are proud—and deeply grateful—for his heroism. America’s future is in good hands.

When you wear the uniform, you're never truly off duty. Proud of the @AlabamaNG soldiers whose quick actions in a moment of crisis helped save a man’s life in Poland using CPR. They jumped in without hesitation, showing the true spirit of a soldier: ready to serve anytime, anywhere. Read more about their heroic actions here 🔗 dvidshub.net/news/545714/us-…

The future of defense is being built right now — and it starts at @OfficialFtSill. At the Joint Counter-UAS University, Soldiers are training to defeat enemy drones —a critical evolution in how we fight and win in the Fires domain. As the Fires Center of Excellence, Fort Sill is where precision meets protection. Proud to be with the people who keep our @USArmy ready — from medics and child care teams to junior leaders. Readiness starts here.

Today at the Senate Appropriations Subcommittee on Defense, I told Senators that @USArmy transformation must drive a renaissance for small and mid-sized businesses—across the heartland, not just the coasts. If you can build what we need, we want to buy it faster and reward your investment.

What an incredible morning spending time with SMA Weimer and some of our finest Soldiers as they faced an intense fitness competition in our nation's capital! Their grit and drive never cease to amaze me. Shout out to @3rd_Infantry for emerging as the undefeated team—well deserved! 💪

GEN George and I are thrilled to welcome four brilliant minds from the tech sector to the @USArmy! Today, we commissioned four exceptional individuals as Lieutenant Colonels in the Army's Detachment 201 (Executive Innovation Corps). Their unique skills will be instrumental in modernizing our capabilities and ensuring we remain at the forefront of technological advancement. Direct commissions like these are crucial for attracting top talent to our ranks. Welcome to the team! 🇺🇸

To our @USArmy Recruiters You crushed the FY25 mission — and it didn’t happen by chance. It took hustle, long hours, and a deep belief in what we do. Thanks for putting in the work, connecting with young Americans, and bringing the best into our ranks. You’re shaping the future of the force — and we see you.

Honored to have joined @POTUS and @SecDef at Fort Bragg today ahead of the @USArmy’s 250th birthday this Saturday. As we celebrate the legacy of our Soldiers and the Army, the Paratroopers of the @82ndABNDiv and Special Operations Forces of @USASOCNews remain a constant reminder of what the Army’s motto, “This We’ll Defend” truly means 🇺🇸

The future of the Army depends on our ability to adapt and innovate. My op-ed highlights the vital importance of the Army Transformation Initiative in cutting through bureaucratic roadblocks and empowering our Soldiers. Follow the 🔗 below to see the full article!  foxnews.com/opinion/secretar…

For 250 years, the @USArmy has led with strength, courage, and unwavering commitment to our nation. As we celebrate the Army’s 250th birthday on June 14, we proudly honor the heroes, legacy, and fighting spirit that have shaped America’s greatest force. This we'll defend. 🇺🇸

The Army Transformation Initiative is bold, necessary, and happening now. We're divesting the outdated equipment to invest in lethal, next-gen warfighting tech—like drones, weapons systems, tactical vehicles & comms—fast, not decades from now. ATI will keep our @USArmy lethal and our Soldiers ready to win future wars. #armytransformation #Modernization #Lethality

Today, @SecDef, @ArmyChiefStaff, and I are honored to recognize the extraordinary courage and selfless sacrifice of seven @USArmy Soldiers awarded the #MedalOfHonor. Their actions saved their fellow Americans while sacrificing their own safety or lives and are reminders that soldiering is an honorable profession. Each of their stories are now part of the Army’s story, part of America’s story, and they will inspire generations to come. Watch live here: dvidshub.net/feature/MOH2025…

During this time of year, we must remember our servicemembers' sacrifices, not just during the holidays but every day of the year. Being deployed over the holidays is never easy. It means missing out on the familiar traditions of home with their loved ones. I want to express my deepest gratitude to all who serve—whether deployed to Europe, Asia, the Middle East, or here at home, serving their communities. Your commitment to the defense of our nation is a true testament to your character.
