  abstract: "In 1974, being a soldier was neither an easy nor a popular profession, as Captain Michael Lee Lanning found out when he assumed command of Company A, 2d Battalion, 30th Infantry, 3d Infantry Division in Schweinfurt, Germany. The tragic effects of the Vietnam War and the start-up problems of the all-volunteer forces were still painfully evident in the United States Army. Morale was low, drug abuse high, racial conflict frequent, discipline poor, and criminal activity common. Even the barracks were a pathetic shambles. These were just some of the problems Captain Lanning faced as he struggled to make Alpha Company 'combat ready'. What followed is ... [the story of] how, 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."--Page 4 of cover.
