Despite this change, our Team at FWA and JBER are still fully mission ready to provide a full menu of teambuilding and performance enhancement training for Individual Mastery and Unit Level training to include Squad Leader Development, Counseling Enhancement Workshops, Great Teams, etc. We remain committed to supporting Arctic Angels and their families. We look forward to our new relationship with TRADOC and its vital mission to support the Army's readiness!
