WARREN, Mich. (November 7, 2012) -- During a ceremony held recently at the Detroit Arsenal, U.S. Army TACOM Life Cycle Management Command (LCMC) Deputy to the Commander Michael Viggato presented certificates to 113 TACOM LCMC teammates who completed college degrees from August 2009 through September 2012.
