"The mission statement was ordered, and it sent the 800th MP Brigade, effective the first of July, up to Baghdad. I joined my brigade to take command at the end of June"

This quote is describing the release of the 800th MP Brigade to Baghdad in July of 2003. Janis Karpinski was the commander of the brigade and was bought to join her brigade at the end of June in order to take command. This objective became part of the bigger effort to bring stability to Iraq following the US-led intrusion in 2003. The 800th MP Brigade was tasked with supplying security and police in the area, along with helping to restore the infrastructure. Karpinski's management was vital in helping the brigade to effectively finish its objective. Her devotion to the mission and her commitment to her troops was an example of real management and guts.
