General funk bringing the ’70s back to Army TRADOC

FORT EUSTIS, Va. — Gen. Paul E. Funk II, the commanding general of Army Training and Doctrine Command, wants TRADOC to join him in Funky Town.

“It's on target,” he added. “In the '70s, the Army forgot about Vietnam and developed Air-Land Battle. Today, the Army is literally deleting the lessons learned from Iraq and Afghanistan and developing Multidomain Operations. I get to lead that effort, which is truly an honor. I'm living the dream.”

“Live the dream is Funk's Rule #89."
