RALEIGH, N.C. - Four Steel Warriors were chosen to deploy to Afghanistan recently to assist the 1st Theater Sustainment Command in establishing a forward operations center focused on warfighter sustainment and to set the conditions for the responsible re-deployment of forces and equipment out of Afghanistan.
Originally stationed at Camp Arifjan, Kuwait, Lt. Col. Bob Wright, Maj. Wes Lockman, 1st Lt. Paul Street, Sgt. 1st Class Robbie Mullis and Sgt. John Wienbrock now call Kabul their “home” for the next few months.
“We hit the ground running,” said Lockman. “Lt. Street and Sgt. Wienbrock are invaluable to the 1st TSC here. On their own initiative, they designed, tested and produced the operations web portal for the command.”
For this achievement, Street and Wienbrock were each awarded a commander coin for excellence from Maj. Gen. Kenneth Dowd, the commander of the 1st TSC. Dowd cited their hardwork and efforts in preparing the operations center for the special recognition.
This operations center will be a major player in sustainment and redeployment operations in the years to come, Lockman explained.
“It has been tough work, but well worth the long hours in the end,” said Lockman.
