TRAINING WITH INDUSTRY
joked. Coca-Cola co-sponsors Wounded Warrior projects across the United States and intends to hire 800 veterans this year.
McEnroe said “private-sector business leaders have a very different thought process than the military. They have dif- ficulty translating those military jobs into civilian-sector jobs. So the more exposure we get from the military, the more we can all benefit.”
MYTH BUSTING In
concluding his remarks, Phillips
broke the myth that “investing” in Army Acquisition and its people is not worth it because they can’t “deliver anything.”
GOOGLE’S VIEWPOINT
Google Inc. representative Dave Cook talks about his company’s operations at the TWI orientation May 17 in Arlington, VA.
At the end of their assignments, the Soldiers write an in-depth research paper, which the DACM reads personally, on what they learned from the TWI tour and how those practices can be used to improve acquisition programs.
INDUSTRY PERSPECTIVE One of the 10 industry briefings at the TWI orientation came from Mike McEnroe, Vice President of Human Resources,
Coca-Cola
“The truth is … our Soldiers on point have the best armor, body armor, weap- ons, and ammunition in the world,” he told the officers. “And we did it all in Acquisition with our industry partners. When you engage with folks … please share this truth about what we have done.”

UNDERSTANDING INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY THROUGH TWI LTC Laura Poston, TWI selectee, has been on the job with Microsoft Corp. since early this year. Poston said she’s learning the technical and managerial aspects of information technology up close.
Refreshments.
According to McEnroe, Coca-Cola and the military have had a “long, valuable” business relationship.
“In World War II, Coke packed up 64 bottling operations in the U.S. and sent them to the European and Pacific the- aters, and the Army assigned 150 officers to the Coca-Cola Co. to ensure that everyone deployed overseas could still enjoy the refreshment. It was the first TWI program, so to speak,” McEnroe
