Terre Haute, Aug 5 (Newswire): The Indiana Air National Guard's 181st Intelligence Wing, Terre Haute, recently welcomed home three members from a deployment to Multi-National Base Tarin Kowt, Afghanistan.
Lt. Col. Charles Iracondo, Master Sgt. Damon Girton and Airman 1st Class Austin Rowlands, members of the 181st Intelligence Wing's 113th Air Support Operation Squadron (ASOS), returned from a rotation in the Australian lead province of Uruzgan, Afghanistan.
The three airmen during their unique deployment worked alongside coalition partners in handing control of the province back to the local government and people.
The coalition of U.S., Australian, Slovakian and Singaporean troops are continuing to train and educate Afghan forces to enable progression toward security and self-governance.
During this deployment, 181st IW TACPs assigned to the 113th ASOS were aligned with an Indiana Army National Guard Infantry Brigade Combat Team for the first time.
This home-grown relationship between the 113th ASOS and the 76th IBCT was taken to a new level when an Indiana IBCT ground commander approved actions conducted by an Indiana Joint Terminal Attack Controller in support of combat operations, another first for the Indiana Air National Guard.
