Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition,
Logistics and Technology/Army Acquisition Executive.
Kick-Off Event, Institute for Collaborative
Biotechnologies. (ICB)
On 22 Feb 02 several UCSB ROTC Cadets and Cadre
were given the honor to meet with and listen
to a speech given by the Secretary of the Army,
The Honorable Thomas E. White. During his speech
the secretary covered numerous topics ranging
from his involvement with Enron, to the War
on Terrorism. A major theme of the Secretary's
oration was the ongoing transformation of the
Army and its place in the future of warfare.
This was a topic of much interest to the cadets
owing to the fact that they will soon become
leaders within this new lighter and mightier
force structure. The Secretary also discussed
his ongoing initiative to ensure that every
soldier's Basic Allowance for Housing is adequate
enough to cover all of his or her living expenses.
He further promised to have the issue fixed
by 2005. Following the Secretary's speech, UCSB
cadets were afforded a picture with the Secretary,
and MS IV Cadet Karyna Velasquez was awarded
a Secretary of the Army Coin of Excellence.
