Teen solves centuries-old math problem
MONTEREY, Calif., Dec. 29 (UPI) -- The U.S. Army's top engineer this week called for an improvement in inter-service teamwork.
Army Maj. Gen. William H. McCoy who directs all reconstruction operations in Iraq urged 351 graduates at the Naval Postgraduate School's fall commencement ceremonies earlier this month "to strive for true jointness," the Navy Times reported.
McCoy "called on officers to get serious about inter-service and coalition interoperability," the newspaper said.
"Though we're the Army Corps of Engineers, we brought all four services together for reconstruction in Iraq and I've seen the tremendous synergy that happens when you bring in the Air Force and Navy and Marine Corps for that kind of truly joint effort.
"So when you get back into the field, I want you to drive that change," the general said.
McCoy was speaking at an awards ceremony where degrees were given to 111 Navy and Navy Reserve officers; 73 Air Force officers; 34 Marine Corps officers; 31 Army and Army Reserve officers; and 62 Defense Department civilians, the Navy Times said.
"Some 71 international officers from 20 allied nations and coalition partners also received degrees," it said.
