TL;DRAbstract

Reconstruction engineers are used to breaking down damaged and outdated structures before they can build new ones. The Army general who recently oversaw all reconstruction in Iraq, Maj. Gen. William H. McCoy, had a similar message for 351 graduates of the Naval Postgraduate School's Fall commencement ceremonies, Dec. 15. In his keynote address, the top Army engineer called on officers from all four U.S. services and 20 allied nations to be willing to "break some china" to achieve true jointness and coalition interoperability after leaving the nation's premier security research university.
