Personal Experiences During a Deployment to Afghanistan

This personal experience paper was prepared to historically document my first deployment to Afghanistan as a member of 2nd Battalion, 7th Special Forces Group. During this deployment, I served as the Operation Sergeant, Operational Detachment Alpha (ODA) 763. These experiences include operations to support Operational Detachment Bravo (ODB) 760, and support of the Battalion Headquarters Operational Detachment Charlie (ODC) 72. All events depicted herein took place in Southern Afghanistan during the period of September 2002 to April 2003.
