Another Day in the ‘Dab
“Another Day in the ‘Dab” is about an artillery unit from the 101st Airborne Division that finds itself exchanging orders to Iraq for another mission as part of the 2010 Afghan “surge” in one of southern Afghanistan’s most dangerous regions—Arghandab, a key point on the smuggling trail from Helmand to Pakistan, where insurgents had deployed hundreds of IEDs in the pomegranate orchards and grape vineyards, and where no major troop presence had ever deployed since the beginning of the war.
Assignment Afghanistan is the home for this new story and its accompanying video, as well as a series of new stories from me and from the project’s public users.
