| With few roads and mountains in every direction, moving the 172nd Infantry Brigade requires helicopters of every shape and size to keep operations moving. U.S. Army Spc. Senquon Coley, Company B, 172nd Support Battalion, quickly loads and offloads passengers and equipment under the whirling blades, July 26. Like a busy international airport staff, the soldiers working the helicopter landing zone at Forward Operating Base Sharana, are responsible for moving not only TF Blackhawk soldiers, but also troops from all over eastern Afghanistan.
