In order to combat the competition, the Army must be sensitive to the needs of people by working to get better compensation in the form of higher pay and better health care. Senior leaders must work hard to remind captains how important their job is to society and the country as a whole. Today, society is moving at a faster pace. Time is the most critical element in anything that we do, so now young lieutenants hit the ground running. Today s pressure makes it important for young lieutenants to be successful upon their first attempts.
Speed is an enhanced factor due to the growth of technology and the computer age.
A major highlight that has occurred during Major General Wallace s time with Cadet Command, is the fact that more power has been granted to the battalion level on campus. For example, now Commanders on campus play a bigger role in the scholarship process. Instead of scholarship recipients having the ability to take their scholarships to any school of their choice, now they must receive a scholarship from the school they wish to attend. Major General Wallace has held many important positions at all levels of command, but his favorite position was that of Battalion Commander. He liked it because he was directly involved with soldiers on a daily basis, and was responsible for 54 tanks in the Federal Republic of Germany.
