T
he day has finally come. You’re going to the front lines of the global war on ter-
rorism. You and your unit are ready, but will your equipment be fully mission capa-
ble when you get there?
It will if you take advantage of a new Army service. The Army has put together
teams that provide on-site packaging and hazardous materials (HAZMAT) assis-
tance to deploying and redeploying units. The team’s know-how and hands-on help
cover all classes of supply. Best of all, the team will help you free of charge.
They’ll work with your unit and the mobilization station to get your equipment
from home station to mobilization station, to theater, and back home. You avoid the
problem of lost, slowed or misrouted shipments. Your gear arrives in country safely
and fully mission capable. And deploy more quickly.
