George also toured the 120th Adjutant General Battalion (Reception) where trainees get their initial military issue uniforms, equipment and inprocess the Army before continuing on to their Basic Combat Training units.
The 120th is currently undergoing multiple construction projects to improve the living and working environment, George viewed the ongoing projects and was briefed by the Army Corps of Engineers, Charleston District, on future construction projects.
