This paper covers some experiences while deployed with the 373rd Combat Support Battalion to Karshi-Khanabad, Uzbekistan, Camp Stronghold Freedom or "K2." The events of September 11, 2001, resulted in the deployment of America's Armed Forces to multiple locations around the world to initiate President George Bush's new Global War on terrorism. As a result, the Department of Defense began planning operational missions to root out the perpetrators and supporters of terrorism in the unstable country of Afghanistan and surrounding regions. Termed Operation Enduring Freedom, combat operations in the Afghan region started just a few days after the attack of the World trade center. The mission is ongoing and the United States continues to spearhead the relentless search to bring Osama Bin Laden and others responsible for terrorism to justice.
