SAN ANTONIO -- Secretary of the Army John McHugh reaffirmed the Army's support to Soldiers and Families Jan. 11 during a visit to the headquarters of the U.S. Army Installation Management Command.
Although there will be many changes coming to the Army, said McHugh, "What won't change is our commitment to taking care of Soldiers and Families." The 21st Secretary of the Army came to Fort Sam Houston for a day before flying on to visit Soldiers training at Fort Polk, La.
Following a morning visiting Wounded Warriors at Brooke Army Medical Center, McHugh met with IMCOM Commanding General Lt. Gen. Michael Ferriter and other top IMCOM officials to discuss installation issues.
IMCOM oversees all facets of installation management including Soldier and Family morale, welfare and recreation programs within its Family and MWR Programs division. Additional responsibilities of the organization range from construction to public works on installations around the world.
McHugh's visit, which included tours of the IMCOM headquarters building and nearby Installation Management Academy, ended with a recognition ceremony for a number of IMCOM Soldiers and civilians.
"I want to tell all the folks at this great command, thank you for what you do for our men and women in uniform [and] for their Families -- not just here but all across this great Army," said McHugh. "It's because of you that we're Army Strong."

every day. We endeavor to provide a quality of life for Soldiers,
Civilians and Families commensurate with their service. Our
professional workforce strives to deliver on the commitments of the
Army Family Covenant, honor the sacrifices of military Families, and
enable the Army Force Generation cycle.
Our Mission: Our mission is to provide Soldiers, Civilians and their
Families with a quality of life commensurate with the quality of their
service.
Our Vision: Army installations are the Department of Defense standard
for infrastructure quality and are the provider of consistent, quality
services that are a force multiplier in supported organizations'
mission accomplishment, and materially enhance Soldier, Civilian and
Family well-being and readiness.
