Secretary Wormuth’s Inspection of Fort Cavazos’ Enhancements
Secretary of the Army, Christine E. Wormuth, recently visited Fort Cavazos to assess the progress of quality of life programs and combat readiness initiatives. During her two-day stay, from January 30 to 31, Wormuth reviewed on-site training and several new services being rolled out to improve the lives of Soldiers and their families. This visit, her second since June 2021, underscores the Army’s commitment to both combat readiness and the well-being of its personnel.
Advancements in Soldier and Family Support Programs
Throughout her visit, Secretary Wormuth engaged with military personnel and staff to discuss recent improvements, including updates to the Newcomers Orientation and the pilot testing of new digital tools like the MyArmy Post app. She also visited the People First Center, where she participated in programs aimed at holistic support for Soldiers, including a suicide prevention session. Additionally, Wormuth’s interactions at the Culinary Outpost Food Kiosk and the Black Jack Dining Facility provided her with direct feedback on the dining experiences of Soldiers, an essential aspect of daily life at the base.
Future Directions and Ongoing Commitments
The efforts at Fort Cavazos to enhance the integration and well-being of Soldiers and their families, such as the Pegasus Troop’s eight-day integration program for new arrivals, were particularly noteworthy. These initiatives are part of a broader strategy to replicate successful quality of life practices across all Army installations. As part of ongoing improvements, Wormuth emphasized the importance of continuous feedback through tools like the MyArmy Post app, and she announced the operational launch of the Cavazos Connector, a new transportation service for Department of Defense ID card holders at the installation, ensuring better mobility and connectivity within the base.
