Signs Now Dayton, located at 1277 North Fairfield Road, recently finished a project with Mission Essential Personnel, LLC, for use in the training of soldiers headed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

The signage and graphics company was hired by Mission Essential Personnel to do vehicle wraps on 30 various SUVs and trucks. The vehicles were made to look like authentic Iraqi and Afghan taxis, police and defense force vehicles. The training was primarily conducted with the 5th and 3rd Stryker Brigades of the US Army at Fort Lewis.

"The success of the project has been phenomenal," remarked Todd Miller, deputy director, global operations group at Mission Essential Personnel. "Our customers are impressed with the realism that the wrapped vehicles bring to the training. We even had comments made by soldiers who thought we imported vehicles from the OIF theatre of operations."

Mission Essential Personnel is a global professional services firm that provides operational world support with disciplines including training and advising, world-wide mission support for language and culture, emerging markets, stability and reconstruction, specialized mission and expeditionary operations.

Roger Peters, who owns Signs Now with his wife Cathy, were intrigued and excited when approached with the idea.
