Justice Enoch, serving as general counsel in 2018 to the Greater Austin Chamber of Commerce, became the central point of contact between the Austin community and the Pentagon at a time the US Army had proposed to stand up the first new Army Command in 40 years. The Command has taken leadership in conceptualizing, designing, testing, and deploying advanced war materiel for the US Army.

Enoch, joined by Enoch Kever member Rod Johnson, at times under strict short deadlines, answered questions and provided necessary information. Craig’s contact at the Pentagon remarked that “Austin made it clear it would welcome the Army.”  And the Army chose Austin over four other well-situated communities.
