"Having a minimum knowledge of the inner workings of military life, I found Bronco Strong: A Memoir of the Last Deployed Personnel Services Battalion to be an excellent introduction and an easy read. With introspective detail, Col. (Ret.) Angela M. Odom describes the historic last deployment of the 15th Personnel Services Battalion which she commanded and loved. The story is intimate as Col. Odom describes uncompromisingly her successes and failures as she moves up through the ranks. The story is suspenseful as you read about the 15th PSB being impacted directly by the horror of war. The story is humbling as you experience the firsthand accounts of the brave soldiers who served and the angsts they all shared by being separated from family. Thank you Col. (Ret.) Angela M. Odom and the 15th Personnel Services Battalion for your service!"

"Bronco Strong The Last Personnel Services Battalion. This book is one of the best reads that depicts the life of a Adjutant General Battalion Commander and her troops during Operation Iraqi Freedom 06-08. COL Odom's journey to becoming a Battalion Commander during war-time supporting the First Cavalry Division, Multi-National Forces Iraq and its attachments. This story is real depiction of the life of an AG Soldier in combat. Although her troops were not actively fighting on the ground, they supported thousands of troops from Baghdad to Tahlil to Rhamadi to Al Asad providing personnel service, postal operations and casualty assistance. Her troops believed in her to lead them in such a critical time in our nations war. Dealing with the deaths of our fallen comrades and and having that reality hit home with the deaths of some of our own, we were support Soldiers, not Infantry, Armor, or Special Forces. Our lives will never be the same because of the experiences we shared over there for some we continue to serve this nation continuing to put ourselves in harms way for the protection of this nation and fighting for those that can't fight for them selves. For others, our lives as retired Soldiers and now civilians present new challenges just coping with being away from the fight, but there is a different fight now, a fight to cope in a society that does not understand our struggles. COL Odom, thank you for telling you story and sharing ours. I can still do 10 good push-ups. Bronco Strong "

"Excellent and heartfelt tribute to our AG troopers and specifically those who endured a tough deployment facing multiple challenges daily as part of the 15th PSB, the last deployed PSB. I had the privilege of visiting with Bronco 6 and her team during the last days of their tour and attended the transfer of authority and the strain of 15 months of combat operations was evident and this memoir explains how heavy the burden of command can be. Well done!"

Great Tribute to AG Troopers!
