The time: 1950, the start of the Korean War. The place: Fort Bliss TX, where the 245th Infantry Battalion, a National Guard Unit, is training before deployment. The problem: Private John Gault MacKenna is actually a full Colonel in the Army's Criminal Investigation Department, sent to investigate the unit. He discovers that this battalion is unlike any other in the army. In fact, it operates as a club whose members have close ties to the Mafia. MacKenna's presence activates old feuds and ignites new ones, sparks romances, and leads to a host of impossible events that will thrill and entertain anyone connected with the United States Army.
