![]() If our Soldiers are aligned with divisions, such as the 101st Airborne Division at Fort Campbell, why not give them the chance to go to Air Assault School? The same goes for the Airborne environment at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. One of the things that has been brought to my attention and I’ve discussed with leadership is additional training opportunities. It’s great to see that our young NCOs are already thinking at the strategic level. I saw how they tied in the commanding general’s lines of effort with mission-essential tasks to get after training to make sure our 51C are prepared when they deploy downrange or respond to a crisis. This was especially evident when talking with and listening to the Soldiers and civilians during the last MICC Master Gunner Course. Our NCOs demonstrate this during my visits to their units as well as during the recent Army Senior Leader Course graduation. The population of NCOs we recruit are E-5 promotables, so their maturity already exists. I firmly believe the strategic impact this organization and our acquisition professionals deliver go infinitely beyond the contracts executed in support of requirements upon which our Army relies to ready our fighting force. The same is true for personnel making up the MICC as we provide supported units with the supplies and services required to sustain the mission. I believe in customer service, which is what I provided as a logistician. It was awesome to see firsthand the passion our director and our team at Fort Lee have when it comes to taking care of our Soldiers.Īs a career logistician and Government Purchase Card holder, I’ve worked hand in hand with contracting officers, contract specialists and contracting officer representatives whether it was in garrison or in a combat area. At Fort Lee, Virginia, I had the chance to join our teammates and meet with a food service contractor where they identified deficiencies for corrective action. I’ve had the opportunity to recognize our Soldiers and civilians at Fort Hood, Texas, Fort Eustis, Virginia, and Fort Campbell and Fort Knox in Kentucky, for their outstanding contributions to the mission. ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s important that we recognize the outstanding contributions to the mission. No matter where I visit across the MICC, there’s always a friendly, smiling, face on the other end. Since assuming responsibility of the Mission and Installation Contracting Command in early June, I’ve had the chance to visit a handful of our contracting battalions and offices, witnessing firsthand the impressive Soldiers and civilians making up one of the Army’s premier commands.Īlthough our workforce hasn’t yet fully returned to the office, I believe in seeing where our people work and met everyone who was physically present. This allows me to get an idea of how they support our mission and put faces to names. JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-FORT SAM HOUSTON, Texas – ![]()
