...efforts are much more than a business-school exercise. "This is not only an economic transformation but a huge cultural change," he says. In the corner of every office at Red River, and on all the shop floors, stands a black cutout figure of a soldier with a helmet and rifle at the ready as a constant reminder of who the customer is and that the smallest errors can have the most serious consequences on the battlefield.
