Commanders Meet Before Deployment

The Commanding Officers of TX ADT-5, LTC Gaudsmith, and the Bilateral Embedded Support Team (BEST), COL Purple, met with their staff to forge a relationship that will go forward with us into Ghazni.  COL Purple and his team will be integrated with the Polish forces in charge of FOB Ghazni to ensure seamless operations between the international forces.  The meeting was both an informative meeting, with both teams sharing their missions for deployment and future plans, and an exchange of ideas on daily life on the FOB.

The meeting ended with both teams getting to know each other better and exchanging contact information to ensure a support network while deployed.  It was a successful endeavor all around; thanks to COL Purple and his team for coming to visit!
