The Gladiators began their deployment the morning of 2 April 2005. The process ended up being a week long journey involving three different countries.



Literally waiting to deploy!

  



With each step closer, comes more time waiting.



Kyrgyzstan was a beautiful 75° when we showed up.
The next day it looked like this!

  



Four days later in Kyrgyzstan and the wait continues.



The PL is anxious to get moving.

  



The next day we finally flew to lovely Afghanistan.



Finally on the ground in Afghanistan and ready for anything!
