This ensured the company was combat ready at any time it was called upon.

SFC Ledoux's desire to be the best Army ATC unit helped establish a Letter of Agreement (LOA) with the United States Army Installation Management Command facilities on post and was able to put eight Troopers at any given point in fixed base facilities throughout Fort Bragg.
