Deployment Phases for Wartime Mission

Abstract

When America was attacked on 11 September 2001, Operation Enduring Freedom in Kandahar, Afghanistan (OEF-A) was formed to fight the war on global terrorism. To support the fight, my deployment to OEF-A with the 82nd Airborne Division Task Force (TF) Devil took place in 2002-2003. The mission was to replace TF Panther already in theatre, with minimum interruption to ongoing operations. In preparation for the transition leadership focused on pre-deployment, deployment and redeployment phases and training. The concentration on deployment specific areas ultimately lead to a confident, well prepared force, ready to fight and win in any given situation. My personal experiences will provide insight on how the effectiveness of training greatly impacted the successful outcome of the mission.
