    FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. - On Aug.1, 2013, Gen. John F. Campbell, Vice Chief of Staff of the Army and former 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault) commander took the time to speak with the media during a press conference at Fort Campbell as part of his Ready and Resilient Campaign visit to the installation. Campbell met with members of the Fort Campbell community from Aug. 1 to Aug. 2 to talk about the Ready and Resilient Campaign and other key issues.

    Campbell discussed his impressions of the installation's resiliency and wellness programs, as well as the way forward on other important Army matters.

    "I've seen a lot of great initiatives here at Fort Campbell; they're leading the way on many things in the Ready and Resilient Campaign," he said.

    Campbell said he and his staff were very interested in the feedback received from the focus groups that attended, and that he looked forward returning to Washington, D.C., with recommendations for best practices to implement Army-wide.

    The Vice Chief and his team looked at a number of operations to include in-processing, sponsorship, and governance. Campbell had high praise for the reporting practices utilized by leaders to the Senior Mission Commander, Brig. Gen. Mark R. Stammer, and called it the standard for the Army.

    "He's able to bring in all of the stakeholders on a frequency where they've met and he makes decisions on those issues at his level, and it's a really integrated approach. He's able to take that information and make the best decisions for Fort Campbell," he said.
