I saw first hand the tremendous effort that the state of Illinois and the Illinois Arm National Guard put into preparing this unit to deploy. And I am genuinely appreciative of that effort and I want to report to you that it has paid off.The Illinois Arm National Guard Has deployed a terrific brigade combat team it has excellent leaders, disciplined soldiers and they are performing marvelously here in Afghanistan in this very difficult mission.
Major General Formica
The video cast provided an up-close-and-personal opportunity to hear from Major General Formica and learn how his command is partnering with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the international community to help to develop a stable Afghanistan, strengthen the rule of law, and deter and defeat terrorism within its borders.
Colonel Thoele discussed his command's mission, where almost 3000 Illinois National Guard Soldiers are assisting the effort to build the Afghan Army and police forces by serving as mentors and trainers. Both Commanders fielded questions from the virtual audience following their opening remarks.
