That hard earned legacy positions IAP for our next phase of growth as we pivot to the Pacific and European theaters and offer more value-added engineering and IT solutions. It’s truly an exciting time to be here, and I personally feel there is nothing more noble than taking care of the women and men who help keep this great nation safe.”
