Greetings JAGWAR! Just thought y'all'd appreciate an official vote of confidence in our mission. In an Army Times article appearing a few days ago, the Army was characterized as being "in the midst of a push toward fitness standards that better reflect the strength and agility needed on the battlefield."
Word. Attributing the ethos to the Army vice chief of staff, the Army Times quoted officials striving to implement "a holistic approach to fitness" and pursue strategies to develop more physically adept Soldiers at the unit level.

A verbalized mission like that couldn't come at a better time for our nascent Regimental Order, for it confirms the underlying perspective of the JAGWAR, to wit, that the best Army attorney is necessarily a competent and qualified Soldier--in skill, in strength, in life.
So to all JAGWAR members, inductees, candidates: take heart! Our work isn't just appreciated at the highest echelons of our Army, it is also critically necessary. That's why I'm proud to call you my colleagues and kindred spirits.
Signing off, from the dunes of dusty Iraq....
