Episode 30: Gen. Christopher Cavoli, Commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, on Defender 21

General Christopher Cavoli, commander of U.S. Army Europe and Africa, might be the Army’s busiest Soldier at the moment. He commands all Army troops on two continents and is leading one of the service’s largest Europe-based military exercises in decades. Despite all that, he took time to call into Fort Bragg from his Wiesbaden, Germany headquarters. General Cavoli and host Joe Buccino talk about that enormous exercise, Defender 21, the future of V Corps, which was reactivated last year on Fort Knox, Kentucky but will command forces in Europe, and the consolidation of U.S. Army Europe and U.S. Army Africa. Chris also describes his Cold War childhood Würzburg, West Germany and his long, distinguished career. The XVIII Airborne Corps headquarters releases new episodes of the 18th Airborne Corps podcast every Tuesday and Thursday. The show offers insight and wisdom for Army leaders from history, current events, or future technology.
