The FOB Quick Reaction Force (QRF) in action

"The day dawned clear around 5.30 and going with my daily routine, I took a little time for my own sketching. I headed up the mountain to the outpost LAVIII hoping to sketch it standing vigil in the early morning sun. One of three soldiers manning the mountain outpost came and chatted while I worked and I ended up interviewing the Captain on duty at the post. One of the other soldiers ferried us all breakfast in a gator ATV, then we all sat and shot the breeze. Absolute luxury, breakfast and a view."
