The general taking over the Army says it will take a couple of months, but he will soon explain how the force must transform itself after a decade at war. General Martin Dempsey says the all-volunteer Army must be ready for new adversaries in 2020 and beyond. He says the Army is in transition and must evolve and hone new expertise.

General Casey held the top job for four years and has more than four decades in the service.
