    Combined Joint Task Force 1 - Afghanistan

    U.S. Army Sgt. Christopher Tunis, a native of St. Petersburg, Fla., assigned to Company A, 172nd Support Battalion, 172nd Infantry Brigade, Task Force Blackhawk, verifies mission data with a Chinook helicopter crew member Oct. 5, at Forward Operating Base Sharana. Afghanistan is known for its harsh and unforgiving terrain and sling load operations more often than not, are the only means to get mission-critical equipment and supplies to outlying areas where ground vehicles cannot safely reach.
