I’ve sent a few pictures from my escapades here.  We often get visitors to the construction sites and this past week, we had both Lt. Gen. Van Antwerp and Maj. Gen. Temple visit our office to tour the sites.

This is the ground breaking for a new Reception, Staging, Onward Movement, and Integration Site at Bagram Air Field.  I’m standing in the footprint of the future dining facility with Lt. Col. Christopher West, FET commander; Col. Jonathan Ives, Task Force Cincinnatus commander; and Mr. Saeed Hefazi, CH2M Hill project manager.

Afghanistan Engineer District is building roads and also Afghan National Police District Headquarter facilities in the Panjshir Valley.  This photo is from a trip to recon the site for a new road that was recently  awarded.  The locals are very friendly, and the children are beautiful.
