Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has said “building the force of the future” requires recruitment, training and retention of service members as well as provision of healthcare support to uniformed personnel, DoD News reported Thursday.

He spoke with training instructors of the U.S. Air Force and visited Brooke Army Medical Center.

”We have military competitors. And, it’s important for us to build the force of the future that will be the best,” Carter noted.
