Commercial Cleaning & Dish Machine Chemicals Designed to Honor and Support Our Military Veterans
Enhancing the quality of life and supporting U.S. military veterans’ transition back to civilian life is an important mission for many community members and businesses, including Regional Distributors. The launch of our Valor & Victory line of advanced commercial cleaning and dish machine chemicals is a long-term opportunity to give back to military veterans and combines our love for what we do with our duty to supporting veterans. With help from Regional's own military veteran employees, all of the products in the Valor & Victory line were designed and named to honor military veterans and represents a simple, but inspired way to recognize their service and sacrifice.

Name Meaning: A front line is the closest position(s) of an armed force's personnel and equipment, generally in respect of maritime or land forces. Forward Line of Own Troops (FLOT), or Forward Edge of Battle Area (FEBA) are technical terms used by all branches of the U.S. armed services. They are a battlespace control measure that designate the forward-most friendly maritime or land forces on the battlefield at a given point in time, during an armed conflict. FLOT/FEBA may include covering and screening forces. The adjective variant of the term front line is used to describe materiel or personnel intended for forward use - at sea, on land or in the air - i.e. at the front line. In both the naval and land campaigns of World War I, FEBAs and FLOTs could often be identified by eye, however, more current conflicts are vastly different and the term 'front line' has come to refer more to any place where bullets and bombs are flying - or are likely to fly.8

During the Middle Ages, the cannon became standardized and more effective in both the anti-infantry and siege roles. Cannons also transformed infantry and naval warfare in the early modern period.
