The National Guard Bureau has put together a video of our sister battalion, the “Nightfighters” (1st Battalion, 293rd Infantry). You can download the video here (You must have RealPlayer installed to view the video). This file is over 9MB in size.

My company was attached to the 1/293rd while we were in Iraq (we arrived on ground there a few days after they did). You will hear them refer to the “Ammo Supply Point” or “ASP” several times in the video; this is the position that my platoon took over once we arrived.

The latter portion of the video shows them conducting force protection operations back in Kuwait at Camp Arifjan; while they are at a different camp than we are, we both are now doing essentially the same jobs at these two camps.
