<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>The fight over the "One Army Concept" is at its peak. Some in the</p><p>active Army believed the concept would never work. Weekend</p><p>warriors couldn't be reliable enough to be integrated into the Army's</p><p>demanding worldwide missions. In 1989 the National Guard's 2nd</p><p>Battalion 220th Infantry needs to perform well at the prestigious</p><p>Joint Readiness Training Center (JRTC) at Fort Chaffee, Arkansas.</p><p>The men and officers of the 2nd battalion were going to be tested by</p><p>the Army's best trained professional Opposing Force at the infantry's</p><p>ultimate proving ground. But this wasn't your average National</p><p>Guard unit. Their consistent superior performance during the last</p><p>several years prompted the National Guard leadership to select them</p><p>to best represent the Guard on this national stage. There are countless</p><p>distinct challenges for National Guard units that active-duty units</p><p>don't face. This story describes how the battalion's exceptional</p><p>leadership can overcome these challenges to turn their unique</p><p>situation into an advantage. Can the battalion prove to everyone that</p><p>the "One Army Concept" works? If so, then what's next?</p>
