Word of the month: Charity CG visits Soldiers in Afghanistan by Maj. Kevin Toner 2nd Brigade Combat Team Public Affairs Office, 4th Infantry Division

KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — Fewer than two weeks after taking command of the 4th Infantry Division and Fort Carson, Maj. Gen. Joseph Anderson traveled to Kandahar, Afghanistan, to visit the Soldiers of 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 4th Inf. Div., Monday-Wednesday. Anderson had a whirlwind tour of the “Warhorse” brigade area of operations. “Thanks for what you’ve done; your service is very clear; your sacrifice is very clear; keep up the good work,” Anderson said. “It’s and honor and a privilege to be your commander.” After an operations and intelligence overview provided by the brigade commander and staff, Anderson traveled to Forward Operating Base Walton to see the 204th Brigade Support Battalion, 2nd BCT, 4th Inf. Div. While there, he cut the ribbon for the soon-to-open “Warhorse Oasis,” a camp inside the FOB where Soldiers can enjoy a couple days rest from the rigors of patrolling. The following day started with a promotion and awards ceremony at Camp Nathan Smith where he pinned combat action badges and awards on Soldiers and civilians. Anderson then traveled to the Arghandab district to learn about the progress in security and stability there from the Soldiers of 1st Battalion, 67th Armor Regiment, 2nd BCT, 4th Inf. Div., and the Arghandab district governor. He then flew to Darvishan and Lam, Khakrez district, to meet Soldiers living in some of the brigade’s most remote outposts. Photo by Spc.
