The KCG Engineering Team was proud to sponsor and participate in this year's TASC-TGIC Reverse Industry Day, an event designed to enhance government-industry collaboration through a series of panel discussions and networking opportunities.

Mike Klett, Chris Herr, and Ivan Torres were in attendance representing KCG among the industry members and Army Mission and Installation Contracting Command professionals who took part in the event.
