EDUCATION and TRAINING UPDATE
EDUCATION AND TRAINING OPPORTUNITIES This issue of Army AL&T Magazine fea- tures an in-depth article (see Page 156) on Training with Industry (TWI), a 10-to-12-month rotational opportunity for Acquisition Officers (O-3 to O-5) to work side by side with industry. Cur- rent participating companies are: Google Inc., Microsoft

Moving beyond traditionally defense-
based companies such as Boeing, General Dynamics Land Systems, and Lockheed Martin will allow AAC officers to garner insight and creativity in implementing solutions in environments quite different from the traditional Army program man- agement office. For more information,
