Earlier today the Texas Task Force Foundation provided a donation of $8,769 to the Texas A&M Task Force 1 Water Team for a purchase of new equipment. The donation will allow the team to purchase 2 new top of the line water rated manikins that will create more realistic real-world simulations during training and a new boat motor diagnostic tool to keep their motors running at top performance.
