RACINE, Wis. (June 30, 2010) – Case

Operation

service organizations.

support from Case for our troops runs deep,” said Pat Hunt, director, Strategic Accounts, Case Construction
Equipment.
“We’re proud to co-sponsor this event
and aid the great work Operation Support Our Troops provides.”
Case recently announced the production
of several thousand military skid steers and compact track loaders as part of a
