Well every month I am sent a news letter from the FRG (family readiness group) about how all the soldiers are doing over in Iraq, events coming up, and unfortunately fallen heroes .
Well Logan is in a smaller group called PSD, out of the whole that makes up 3ID (i believe sometimes military mumbo jumbo confuses me).
Well this month the did a bigger thing on PSD! There is a few pictures, one with the whole group and then a few of his friends sadly i didn't see any of just him!
Well they talked about each individual soldier and i thought L
ogan's would be great for all our family and friends to kinda get a glimpse of it all!!
This is the beginning of the newsletter section on PSD! After this they had a "lets meet the soldiers section."
The mission of the Personal Security Detachment
is to escort the Brigade Commander and the
Brigade Command Sergeant Major to any location
on the battlefield either by ground or by air.
The Vanguard area of operation covers
approximately 2,500 kilometers. Some locations
require the commander and the command sergeant
major to fly because of the distance to the location.
Every Soldier in the PSD plays a critical role
toward accomplishing the mission. Prior to every
mission the Soldiers are preparing vehicles,
conducting radio checks, prepping their weapon
systems and making sure the trucks are ready to
conduct a combat patrol.
During the mission every Soldier has a sector
to cover; whether it is scanning into crowds while
the convoy is going through a city looking for
any threats, scanning the side of roads for wires,
newly dug holes, trash, or anything that can be
an improvised explosive device or a threat to the
teams.
Following each mission the Soldiers clean their
weapons and trucks, fill the trucks up with fuel,
and prepare for the next day’s mission.
In the "meet the soldiers section" this is what was said about Logan!Pfc. Logan P. Johnson
He is a Gunner for the Colonel’s team and
provides security for the Brigade Commander while
on combat patrols and provides over watch during
mounted and dismounted operations.
The native of Harrisburg, Ore., spends his down
time watching movies, playing Call of Duty and
going to the gym.
He said what he misses most is his fiancée
Tiffany, his family and his friends.
Well I am trying to get the picture to work but some how i will have to get some tec support on it haha!!!
