Marine Corps Gen. Peter Pace, JCS Chairman, thinks that the US military scores well when it come to intent to transform, but its way down the scale on follow-through. At Kirtland AFB, N.M., Wednesday, Pace said that on a 10-point scale measuring transformation progress, the military gets an “8” for intent and a “4” for execution. The problem is not, he says, lack of energy applied, but lack of knowing “what we’re capable of doing.”
