COMMANDER’S TOP CONCERNS
1. Personnel. The unit is doing great we have a major exercise coming
up and it will change my rating to a T level 1.
2. Equipment. Shortage of XMT radios degrade the units abilty to
communicate effectively dueing training and in the event of hositilities. We
require 15 sets that are not due for fielding for 12 months. Request early
fielding of the XMT radios.
