OIF 08-10 Accomplishments:

The Task Force projected combat power throughout the theater of Iraq, and through the combined efforts of all the Battalions and Soldiers accomplished the following significant accomplishments:

— 834th ASB FLE supported MNC–I C4 Aviation efforts by establishing SSA and Combat Aviation Brigade footprint at Tallil to support MND–S operational aviation requirements.

— F Co. I-185th provided C-23 support to cover mission requirements previously supported out of Ali Al Salem Air Force Base by a sister company. This critical function provided the movement of aviation AOG parts and support personnel throughout the theater of Iraq.

— Projected long range combat power and maintenance with first a company from 3-159 ARB and then moving the BN to Basrah to support attack and reconnaissance mission requirements in support of MND–S.

— B Company, 2-149 provided heavy cargo capacity support for the Bucca - Buerhing mission in MND-S, supporting regional passenger and cargo movement.

— CAB completed $20M of projects dedicated to improving the Task Force at Joint Base Balad’s footprint to support ongoing operations, the largest of which was the MEDEVAC Compound, while prudently cancelling over $40M of unnecessary long-term projects.

— Completed significant networking upgrades through the S6 Shop to improve TF connectivity, reliability and service.

— S2 provided intelligence assessments, collection and mission analysis for all aviation assets within the theater.
