Sunset Overwatch

Staff Sgt. Brandon Hilker, infantryman with 2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, Task Force Black Lions, provides over watch for explosive ordinance disposal team members and local police in the Orgun-E district of Eastern Paktika. Acting on a tip about a possible improvised explosive device from the local police chief, Zarif Khan, coalition forces moved in to identify and render the device safe. Located in a steep cliff overlooking a major road and surrounded by civilian foot traffic, the device posed a serious threat to the local civilians, Khan said.
