A Commander's Stress

"“Sir, there’s been an incident.” An NCO from the Tactical Operations Center (TOC) walked into the dark tent I was staying. I was laying in bed, working on the computer thinking about going to sleep. I lost track of time and was up much later than I should have been. I looked down at my watch. It was about 0130 in the morning. “What happened?” I asked. “A convoy that your guys were escorting hit an IED about 10 minutes ago. They’re calling in MedEvac now,” he said “Are any of my guys hurt?” I asked anxiously. “We don’t think so,” he replied. He said he thought it was “the other unit’s gun truck” that was hit. The problem was that there was not suppose to be another gun truck with that convoy. Only my guys were suppose to have gun trucks."
