The U.S. Army Garrison Italy leadership with the Commander’s Ready and Resilient Council Strength in Diversity Working Group hosted the first “A Conversation on Race” as part of the U.S. Army’s new initiative Project Inclusion Friday, Sept. 18.

In the opening remarks, Maj. Gen. Andrew Rohling, commanding general of the U.S. Army Africa, stated “Project Inclusion is aimed at enacting Army-wide initiatives that promote diversity, equity and inclusion. As America’s most respected institution, we must lead on these issues. We must work to end bias and prejudice in all its forms, and ensure equal opportunity, dignity, and respect for all.”
