Hey Hey
I just wanted to take a short break from the monotony of combat to say thank you for all the support I’ve received over the past month. I can’t tell you all how much I appreciate coming back to my hooch in the evening and see a package waiting for me. Not only does it provide bragging rights to my fellow officers, but also a source of comfort that my family and friends are not too distant. So keep ‘em coming if you so desire. And a special thanks to my awesome wife who has her hands full with two active boys. Not sure how you do it, but I’m deeply grateful and love you for all your support. Thanks HB!
Well, TF White Currahee has had its adventures since we took ownership of our new operating environment in East Paktika. While we’ve made some headlines (local and national) with significant contributions to the war on terror, the real work goes unnoticed for the most part. We do operate in a very lethal AO, however, the TF’s primary focus involves our ability to separate the Taliban from the local populace, promote the local and national government – ensuring the people of Paktika and Afghanistan have a sense of confidence in their governance, and continue to partner with local organizations to foster a society conducive to suitable infrastructure, education, road networks, and other essential services. Each entity being no more important than the other; but a profound level of security that enables these facets of growth and expansion remains our critical and essential task.
Life at FOB Orgun-E is repetitive, yet interesting as the TF continues to establish roots with the local nationals. As we continue to redirect our combat power throughout our AO in an effort to provide some additional flexibility, agility, and lethality, we remain resilient in promoting theater specific directives.
