At The Ready. The nation's No. 1 field soldier, Gen. Paul DeWitt Adams, is little known outside military circles. There he's very well-known as the tough commander-in-chief of the joint task force Strike Command (Stricom.) His main job is to provide combat-ready forces on the run (or rather, flight) at a call for help from any U.S. theater commander anywhere in the world.
