Video was provided by the 172nd Brigade's 4-23 Battalion Chaplin and his Chaplin's Assistant. The Chaplin was outgoing and took on the mission of engaging all peoples with the outreach patrols. He was very successful with the Christian communities. the Chaplin's Assistant happen to had been a DJ. His skills are apparent in the video. The mission was to reach out during the 2005 Christmas holiday and several churches and ancient monasteries were toured. I expect that many of the pictures here are of irreplaceable buildings and artifacts that are now in 2014 destroyed.
My sustainment team was detached from the 3rd COSCOM and attached to the Brigade from November 2005 to April 2006. I part pated on one outreach patrol in March 2006.
Remember these people and Enjoy the video!
