I always figured military support was intended for those in the military, but after reading this article that certainly is not so.
Take a trip to Camp Atterbury, Indiana with this group of business owners and others to get a glimpse into how the military supports those companies that support our guardsmen and reserves!

CAMP ATTERBURY, Ind.- When employers from across Missouri stepped into the cargo compartment of the C-130 Hercules aircraft, they were starting a three-day journey to learn about the mission their employees in uniform are taking on in Balkans.
During the Committee for Employer Support of the Guard and Reserve’s third Kosovo Force 10 boss lift, around 40 business owners and company representatives observed and experienced pre-training around 1,000 Missouri National Guardsmen are going through
When the group arrived in Indiana, they were greeted by Maj. William Smith, of Jefferson City, who served as their liaison on the trip. Smith said that by trip’s end, he wanted each employer to know how serious the training was.
"These Soldiers are not on vacation while they are training, or are deployed," Smith said. "They have a real-life mission to accomplish and that is what they are working toward."
Any doubt about the intensity of training quickly vanished as the employers lined up to watch Guardsmen endure……… MO Boss Lift
Stumble It!
