Military logistics calls for military truckers

Anthony Cannon, the support operations officer for the 106th Support Battalion from the Mississippi Army National Guard. “We look at it as a one-stop-shop to get all of your commodities. We sustain the force; it’s critical that we get supplies downrange.”
