Day and night, defenders from the 386th Expeditionary Security Forces Squadron can be seen roaming the base, scanning the perimeter and ensuring that no threat comes close to the base.

Brandon Toum, commander of Charlie Battery, 3rd Battalion, 2nd Air Defense Artillery Regiment. “Soldiers are collecting information from multiple points to enhance our situational awareness of the area.”
