POV from Winnifer McGee, division chief assigned to ACC-RSA's CH-47 International Contracts Division: "On Sept. 23, the CH-47 International Contracts Division and other ACC-RSA teammates had the opportunity to participate in a Block II team flight over the local area. What an amazing team building activity! This flight was extra special for me because this was one of the five aircraft that my team procured over five years ago when I was a branch chief. Several of our Fellows got to experience flying in one of the Army’s new and improved Block II CH-47 aircraft. This gave them perspective and insight into what we procure and the important role we play in the Army’s mission." #BeAllYouCanBe U.S. Army Contracting Command
