The necessity to communicate is at the heart of every command. General Gordon Sullivan put this in perspective best when he explained: Force XXI will leverage the capabilities of the latest technologies to optimize the skill and courage of our soldiers. We will integrate information age technology with our tactical units. We will redesign units, built around people and new technologies, to enhance their agility, versatility and lethality.

Food from the farms and ranches that were outlying Virginia Beach and Norfolk was flowing in, and markets were opening with fresh produce, live stock was becoming available, which meant more fresh meat. Quite a bit of the produce was making its way up to Washington D.C. by train. It was touch and go for a bit for Captain O’Hara and Major Luxon. There were some farms and ranches east of Hawkesbury Farm and some of the ranching and farming communities had joined forces and created their own states

In theory, utilizing helicopters could relocate their forces fast enough to keep the enemy from conversing on any one unit. On the contrary, an American Force discovering an NVA unit would fix its position while the reinforcing battalion flew in to cut off the enemy's retreat and annihilate them (E-History, 2012).

In 1962 during the American Civil War, the Nation’s highest decoration in combat was established. The Medal of Honor is presented to those who go above and beyond the Call of Duty. These Soldiers did not just display Valor, but also what we now call Army Values. They were Loyal to their country, set on their Duty obligation and Selflessly put our country ahead of themselves. They kept moving forward against the enemy, never retreating, only showing the importance of Integrity for their country, with

The 56th Armored Brigade Combat Team (ABCT) is considered among the best maneuver brigades in the Forces Command three years ago. I know this because I was a member of the 56th ABCT then. During this period, our leaders want to lead and our soldiers were highly motivated. In addition, the morale across the brigade was high with strong supportive family atmosphere. Today, this is no longer true. My review of multiple assessments, surveys, and reports regarding our brigade couple with my interaction
