Bagram: The War on Wood
As the NATO-led operation in Afghanistan draws to a close, Bagram Airfield finds itself engaged in a different sort of battle: the ‘war on wood’. Across the sprawling base, temporary buildings are being torn down, replaced by concrete ones as this is one of the bases where troops will be housed next year as part of NATO’s Resolute Support Mission. Includes sound bites from Col. John Whitford, 242nd Construction Management Team, 2nd Engineer Brigade; Capt. Timothy Welbaum, 304th Engineer Company, 528th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Engineer Brigade; Master Sgt. Ryan Darnell, 83rd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron, Pararescue Team Leader and Capt. Cameron Rochelle, 83rd Expeditionary Rescue Squadron Combat Rescue Officer. Also available in high definition.
