Task Force CEASAR

CEASAR is an acronym that translates as Communications Electronic Attack with Surveillance and Reconnaissance.  Typically, we orbit at the top of a "stack" with aircarft of varying capabilities.  The unit is staffed by 8 Pilots, 4 Electronic Warfare Officers (EWO's) and 2 Operations personnel.  We support three mission lines per day that equates to 24-hour availability throughout Afghanistan.  That sums up my life since I left home.
We were qualified and mission trained in Kandahar...then moved to Bagram to start a new detachment.  We started with an empty gravel lot...and similar to building a house...it took us two-months to become operational.  We were accompanied by some experienced folks who volunteered to help us get going.  Today they left us on our own...their assistance was truly appreciated!
Special thanks to our MX Man for the many laughs and Little Battle Buddy for leading the way.
