Activity here at Kala Gush


Today, the base was a beehive of activity, I think at least 10 or so helicopters were in and out whereas the past few days since my arrival here, there may have been three. The elevation is high enough that the Apaches have a lot of equipment problems.

Yesterday a 2 star General was supposed to come visit to get a read-out on the current situation. Well, his flight was cancelled due to weather considerations, but 2 USAID flights got in that day yet again proving that given the proper resources, civilians can often do things cheaper and faster than the military. This is especially true in humanitarian assistance operations!

Peace…
