Here are some pictures of the kind of stuff Rob is doing over there, thought you all might be interested. He has been pretty busy so he hasn't had time to write for the blog yet but I am sure he will soon.
Here is the caption that goes with the photos:
090526-F-7426P-009 – Nagdad – U.S. Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Aaron Vincent, Naval Mobile Construction Battalion-11, Combined Joint Task Force Horn of Africa (CJTF-HOA), and Capt. Rob Meehl, Officer in charge, Delta Company, 478th Civil Affairs, discuss possible alternatives for the communal water source in the village of Nagdad, May 26, 2009. The 478th Civil Affairs Battalion, CJTF-HOA interact with various villages and local key leaders in order to foster a better understanding and communication while building relationships that allow CJTF-HOA forces to partner with the host nation. The service members of CJTF-HOA, headquartered in Djibouti, employ an indirect approach to counter violent extremism. Through a strategy of cooperative conflict prevention the task force helps build the internal capacities of countries at risk to prevail against extremists exploiting instability.
