| | | | Command Chief Warrant Officer Shirley Moser | 09/20/2010 Recently, I received a copy of the book, “The 108th Training Command: A History of Embracing Innovation and Shaping the Future”, what a very interesting and exciting history that we, “the 108th Training Command” Soldiers, have. Each of us, as we journey along our course, faces unbelievable obstacles, challenges and missions. How the Soldiers achieved those missions were history in the making. There were times that circumstances were so challenging that some Soldiers left the units due to transformation; units organized, reorganized, downsized, and upsized. Soldiers were called to active duty doing the tasks they had practiced for many years ... Read More...
