　　GENERAL AUSTIN: Yes, sir. Yes, sir, I was.

　　THE PRESIDENT: Go ahead. (Laughter.) It’s better when Lloyd is not standing next to mebecause I don’t look small. (Laughter.) General Austin has done such an extraordinary work,both commanding our forces in Iraq; today as the commander of CENTCOM. I want to thanksomebody else for his own lifetime of service to America – first as a soldier who fought inVietnam; now as our Secretary of Defense – Chuck Hagel. Give it up for Chuck. (Applause.)

　　Chuck was here a few weeks ago to welcome the new head of Special Operations Command,General Joe Votel. Give Joe a big round of applause. (Applause.) For those of you who don’tknow, 13 years ago, Joe led his team of Army Rangers as they jumped into Afghanistan toestablish our first base there – by jumping out of the plane alongside them. So Joe is a toughguy, and he knows what he is doing and I can’t think of somebody who is more qualified tohead up our Special Forces. And so we want to thank Joe for accepting this assignment.

　　Your member of Congress, Kathy Castor, is here. Give Kathy a big round of applause – thereshe is right there. (Applause.) Your Wing Commander, Colonel Dan Tulley. (Applause.) Yoursenior enlisted leaders: Command Sergeant Major Chris Greca; Command Sergeant MajorChris Faris; Chief Master Sergeant Matt Lusson. (Applause.) And most of all, I want to saluteall the spouses and military families on base, because let’s be honest -– they’re the forcebehind the force. (Applause.) I spent time with some of them last night, and it’s clear why ourmilitary is the finest fighting force in the history of the world – and it’s because our militaryfamilies are serving right alongside you.

　　I know we’ve got some Air Force in the house. (Applause.) It’s great to be at the home of the6th Air Mobility Wing. (Applause.) The 927th Air Refueling Wing. (Applause.) CENTCOM. (Applause.) SOCOM. (Applause.) We’ve got some Army here. (Hooah!) Navy. (Hooyah!) TheMarines. (Oorah!) And Coast Guard. (Laughter and applause.) We love our Coast Guard. (Laughter.)

　　Now, I’m not here to give a long speech. But what I really wanted to do is come down and justshake some hands. I just received a briefing from General Austin and met with yourcommanders. I met with representatives from more than 40 nations. It is a true team efforthere at MacDill. And I came here to say the same thing that I’ve been saying to troops on basesacross this country, around the world, and a few months ago in Bagram – and that is thank you.On behalf of the American people, I want to thank all of you for your service; I want to thank allof you for your sacrifice; I want to thank you for your commitment to each other and yourcommitment to our country. As your Commander-in-Chief, I could not be more proud of eachand every one of you.

　　For nearly 75 years, the men and women of MacDill have lived a commitment to “Airmen,Mission, and Community.” You’ve supported our troops through each generation of challenges.And as home to both Central Command and Special Operations Command, you have shoulderedsome of the heaviest responsibilities in dealing with the challenges of this new century.

　　For more than a decade – ever since that awful September morning 13 years ago; ever sinceJoe and his Rangers took that jump a month later – you, and all our men and women inuniform, have borne the burden of war. Some of you – our quiet professionals, our SpecialForces – were among the first to go. When the decision was made to go into Iraq, you werethere. When we refocused the fight back to Afghanistan, you were there. You have served withskill, and honor, and commitment, and professionalism.

　　And some of you carry the wounds of these wars. I know some of you lost friends. Today, weremember all who have given their lives in these wars. And we stand with their families, who’vegiven more than most Americans can ever imagine. And we honor those sacrifices forever.

　　But here is what I want every single one of you to know. Because of you, this 9/11 Generationof heroes has done everything asked of you, and met every mission tasked to you. We are doingwhat we set out to do. Because of you, Osama bin Laden is no more. Because of you, the coreal Qaeda leadership in Afghanistan and Pakistan has been decimated. Because of you, Afghansare reclaiming their communities; Afghan forces have taken the lead for their country’ssecurity. In three months, because of you, our combat mission will be over in Afghanistan,and our war in Afghanistan will come to a responsible end. That’s because of you.

　　You and our counterterrorism professionals have prevented terrorist attacks. You’ve savedAmerican lives. You’ve made our homeland more secure. But we’ve always known that the endof the war in Afghanistan didn’t mean the end of threats or challenges to America.

　　Here at MacDill, you knew this and have known this as well as anybody. You played a centralrole in our combat and counterterrorism operations. You make sure our troops and pilots getwhat they need in order to get the job done. You train forces around the world so countries cantake responsibility for their own security. The 6th Air Mobility Wing is continuously deployed,supporting our humanitarian and combat operations around the world – “Ready to Defend.”And your work is as vital as ever.

　　Because in an uncertain world full of breathtaking change, the one constant is Americanleadership.

　　In a world where technology provides a small group of killers with the ability to do terribleharm, it is America that has the capacity and the will to mobilize the world against terrorists –-including the group in Syria and Iraq known as ISIL. Our intelligence community, as I saidlast week, has not yet detected specific plots from these terrorists against America. But itsleaders have repeatedly threatened America and our allies. And right now, these terrorists posea threat to the people of Iraq, the people of Syria, the broader Middle East – including ourpersonnel, our embassies, our consulates, our facilities there. And if left unchecked, theycould pose a growing threat to the United States.

　　So, last month, I gave the order for our military to begin taking targeted action against ISIL.And since then, our brave pilot and crews – with your help – have conducted more than 160airstrikes against these terrorists. Because of your efforts, we’ve been able to protect ourpersonnel and our facilities, and kill ISIL fighters, and given space for Iraqi and Kurdish forcesto reclaim key territory. They’ve helped our partners on the ground break ISIL sieges, helpedrescue civilians cornered on a mountain, helped save the lives of thousands of innocent men,women and children. That’s what you’ve done.

　　Now going forward, as I announced last week, we’re going to degrade and ultimately destroyISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy. And whether inIraq or in Syria, these terrorists will learn the same thing that the leaders of al Qaeda alreadyknow: We mean what we say; our reach is long; if you threaten America, you will find no safehaven. We will find you eventually.

　　AUDIENCE: Hooah! (Applause.)

　　THE PRESIDENT: But – and this is something I want to emphasize – this is not and will notbe America’s fight alone. One of the things we’ve learned over this last decade is, America canmake a decisive difference, but I want to be clear: The American forces that have beendeployed to Iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. They will support Iraqi forces onthe ground as they fight for their own country against these terrorists.

　　As your Commander-in-Chief, I will not commit you and the rest of our Armed Forces tofighting another ground war in Iraq. After a decade of massive ground deployments, it ismore effective to use our unique capabilities in support of partners on the ground so they cansecure their own countries’ futures. And that’s the only solution that will succeed over thelong term.

　　We’ll use our air power. We will train and equip our partners. We will advise them and we willassist them. We will lead a broad coalition of countries who have a stake in this fight. Becausethis is not simply America versus ISIL – this is the people of the region fighting against ISIL. Itis the world rejecting the brutality of ISIL in favor of a better future for our children, and ourchildren’s children – all of them.

　　But we’re not going to do this alone. And the one thing we have learned is, is that when we dothings alone and the countries – the people of those countries aren’t doing it for themselves, assoon as we leave we start getting into the same problems.

　　So we’ve got to do things differently. This is why we’ve spent the past several weeks building acoalition to aid in these efforts. And because we’re leading in the right way, more nations arejoining us. Overall, more than 40 countries so far have offered assistance to the broadcampaign against ISIL. Some nations will assist from the air – and already France and theUnited Kingdom are flying with us over Iraq, with others committed to join this effort.

　　Some nations will help us support the forces fighting these terrorists on the ground. Andalready Saudi Arabia has agreed to host our efforts to train and equip Syrian oppositionforces. Australia and Canada will send military advisors to Iraq. German paratroopers will offertraining. Other nations have helped resupply arms and equipment to forces in Iraq, includingthe Kurdish Pershmerga.

　　Arab nations have agreed to strengthen their support for Iraq’s new government and to dotheir part in all the aspects of the fight against ISIL. And our partners will help to cut off ISILfunding, and gather intelligence, and stem the flow of foreign fighters into and out of theMiddle East.

　　And meanwhile, nearly 30 nations have helped us with humanitarian relief to help innocentcivilians who’ve been driven from their homes – whether they are Sunni, or Shia, or Christian,or Yazidi, or any other religious minority.

　　Yesterday, at the White House, I met with an outstanding American leader – retired MarineGeneral John Allen. He worked with Iraqi tribal leaders as they fought to reclaim their owncommunities from terrorists, and he’s going to serve as America’s special envoy to build andcoordinate this incredible coalition. And I’ve called on Congress to make sure you’ve got allthe authorities and resources you need to get the job done.

　　But the point is we cannot do for the Iraqis what they must do for themselves. We can’t takethe place of Arab partners in securing their own region and a better future for their own people.We can’t do it for them, but this is an effort that calls on America’s unique abilities – andresponsibilities – to lead.

　　In a world that’s more crowded and more connected, it is America that has the uniquecapability to mobilize against an organization like ISIL. In a world full of broader socialchallenges, it is America that has the unique capability and know-how to help contain andcombat a threat like Ebola, the epidemic in Africa. And yesterday, on top of all that we’realready doing to help, I announced a major boost to our response. We’re establishing amilitary command center in Liberia, at the request of their government, to support civilianefforts across the region. And Major General Darryl Williams, commander of our Army forces inAfrica, arrived yesterday – he’s already on the ground. And our armed forces will bring theirunique, unrivaled expertise in command and control, and logistics and engineering,including creating an air bridge to get health workers and medical supplies into West Africafaster. And obviously, in all our efforts, the safety of our personnel will remain a top priority.

　　In the nation of Liberia, one person who heard this news yesterday was reported to say, “Wehave been praying to get the disease wiped out of our country. So if the coming of U.S. troopswill help us get that done, we [will] be happy.” And that’s the story across the board. If there isa hurricane, if there is a typhoon, if there is some sort of crisis, if there is an earthquake, ifthere’s a need for a rescue mission, when the world is threatened, when the world needs help,it calls on America. Even the countries that complain about America – (laughter) – when theyneed help, who do they call? They call us. And then America calls on you.

　　To all the servicemen and women here and around the world: we ask a lot of you. And anymission involves risk. And any mission separates you from your families. And sending ourservicemembers into harm’s way is not a decision I ever take lightly; it is the hardest decisionI make as President. Nothing else comes close. I do it only when I know the mission is vital tothe security of this country that we love. I do it only because I know that you’re the best thereis at what you do. And, frankly, there just aren’t a lot of other folks who can perform in thesame ways – in fact, there are none. And there are some things only we can do. There are somecapabilities only we have.

　　That’s because of you – your dedication, your skill, your work, your families supporting you,your training, your command structure. Our Armed Forces are unparalleled and unique. Andso when we’ve got a big problem somewhere around the world, it falls on our shoulders. Andsometimes that’s tough. But that’s what sets us apart. That’s why we’re America. That’s whatthe stars and stripes are all about.

　　And between war and recession, it has been a challenging start to this new century. We’vebeen busy. This has not been an easy 14 years. And many of you came of age in these years.But I want you to know, as I stand here with you today, I’m as confident as I have ever beenthat this century, just like the last century, will be led by America. It will be and is an Americancentury.

　　At home, we’re bouncing back, better positioning ourselves to win the future than any nation onEarth. Overseas, we’re moving forward, answering the call to lead. And even when it seems likeour politics is just dividing us, I want you to remember that when it comes to supporting youand your families, the American people stand united. We support you. We are proud of you. Weare in awe of your skill and your service. Only 1 percent of Americans may wear the uniformand shoulder the weight of special responsibilities that you do, but 100 percent of Americansneed to support you and your families – 100 percent.

　　This is a moment of American leadership, and thanks to you, it is a moment that we are goingto meet. And I will keep standing up for your interests and for our security, and for the humanrights and dignity of people wherever they live. And we’re going to keep on working with ourallies and partners to take out the terrorists who threaten us wherever they hide. Because instark contrast to those who only know how to kill and maim and tear down, we keep onbuilding up and offering a future of progress and hope. And like the generations before us,we’re willing to defend this country we love. We’re willing to help others on this planet thatwe share. We’re protected by patriots like you. And for all those reasons, the United States ofAmerica will remain the greatest force for freedom that the world has ever known.

　　Thank you very much, everybody. I’m proud of you. God bless you. God bless the United Statesof America.
