Old Guard establishes forward base in Ethiopia
Soldiers from the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, “The Old Guard”, Bravo Company, established and began operating out of a forward base in rural Ethiopia this week.
The base, named “Camp United” by company soldiers, will be used as a launching ground for local missions, predominately training with the Ethiopian military, said Sgt. 1st Class Fred L. Silhol IV, platoon sergeant of Bravo’s 1st platoon.
The camp and the missions are part of the Bravo Co.’s continued involvement in the Global War on Terrorism as part of the Combined Joint Task Force-Horn of Africa.
Just to point out that we don’t seem to be distracted from the wider war by Iraq…
