Morale was low, drug abuse high, racial conflict frequent, discipline poor, and criminal activity common. Even the barracks were a pathetic shamble.These were just some of the problems Captain Lanning faced as he struggled to make Alpha Company combat ready. What followed is a shining testament to how leadership by example can make a difference. In eighteen months, Alpha Company went from being an unruly, unprofessional, drug-infested unit to the best in the battalion, racking up top marks, honors, and commendations. They became a company to which Lanning could honestly say: You are the best soldiers in the best company in the best army in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51738819854624,"sku":"NEW0345483049","price":19.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/61kBpiwrfXL.jpg?v=1779613490","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-battles-of-peace-one-company-commanders-battle-against-drugs-and-racial-conflict-in-the-war-to-rebuild-the-post-vietnam-army-0345483049","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
