Nancy: Your father was one of the most important "rebuilders" of your Army after VietNam. We were together at Ft Monroe in 1981,82. He in charge of developing the doctrine how the Army fights, I for the development of training. So we worked together quite often. He was brilliant. It is difficult to overstate his role as an architect of both concept and practice for what was described as "AirLand Battle". His role has been memorialized in the naming of a principal conference room in that major Army headquarters - the Morelli Conference Room. A singular honor - unique as far as I know. When Army rebuilding had to be explained to senior Congressional leaders, such as Newt Gingrich, General Donn Starry the TRADOC Commander called on him. We all grieved at his passing - as a friend, and as a superb professional in America's Army Rick Frederic J. Brown |
