The promise was an oversight and advocacy commitment, not a guarantee of a statutory result. During Alford's same House term, he led a Missouri delegation request for Army transparency on Fort Leonard Wood plans, went directly to Army leadership after concerns arose, and then announced an Army assurance that Basic Combat Training was not being relocated. That constitutes monitoring and advocacy for Fort Leonard Wood's training mission in the relevant federal office context.
