Please join the ARSC in congratulating LTC Cheryl Foston (ASC-ARE) and LTC Joshua Tallon (HHC) on their outstanding achievement in graduating from the U.S. Army War College!
This accomplishment reflects not only their dedication to professional military education, but also their commitment to our Nation and our Soldiers. The War College challenges leaders to think critically, plan strategically, and prepare for the complex missions of tomorrow — and these two have met that challenge with excellence.
