Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates wanted an Army chief of staff willing to challenge the status quo, and he believes he has one in Gen. Martin E. Dempsey.
Dempsey succeeded Gen. George W. Casey Jr. as the Army chief of staff during a ceremony at Fort Myer, Va., today. Due to a family tragedy, Casey and his family did not attend the event.

"Whatever challenges confront us in the future, your Army will respond with the same courage and resolve with which it has responded over the past 235 years," Dempsey said.

Gates extolled the new chief of staff saying that he was impressed with Dempsey's "keen mind, strategic vision, quiet confidence and the energy he brings to every assignment."

Dempsey served as the commander of the 1st Armored Division in Baghdad in 2003. He then helped put in place the Iraqi army and police. He served as the deputy commander of U.S. Central Command and stepped in as acting commander when Navy Adm. William Fallon resigned.

"While serving as acting Centcom commander, General Dempsey reorganized the headquarters, published new theater strategy and campaign plans, all the while managing the rotations and deployments of tens of thousands of troops throughout his command's [area of responsibility]," Gates said.
