About this blog: Coalition members serving in Afghanistan face HUGE differences in living and working conditions. From the posh courtyard in the International Security Assistance Force Headquarters compound to a shallow pit in Helmand, Afghanistan’s got it all. This blog shares one view…that of a relatively senior officer working at a relatively nice base in Kabul. Your experience may vary.
About me: I’m Clayton Perce, a US Air Force Colonel who deployed to Afghanistan from April 2009-April 2010. I worked closely with Afghan communicators and the US and Coalition forces charged with growing and professionalizing the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police. It was by far the toughest job I’ve ever had, but probably the most important too. Please feel free to comment or send me a note…I’m LinkedIn here.
