What do you do and why is it important to the warfighter?

What are some of the milestones you’ve achieved?
Some of the milestones include procuring 30 Mi17 aircraft for Afghanistan along with the extension of CLS support, procuring critical spare parts for theater and simplifying a process to expedite parts procurement.

I’m proud to be part of an extraordinary team that is able to influence the outcome of the warfighter’s mission and to be part of President Obama’s exit strategy in returning our troops home.
