He's there!

Chris has safely made it to International Security Assistance Force Headquarters (HQ ISAF) in Kabul, Afghanistan. He's super tired after not sleeping for 48 hours because of the travel schedule. He will start work tomorrow.

Here's some information on HQ ISAF from the welcome packet:

"On 9 August 2003 NATO assumed authority for the ISAF mission, and HQ ISAF was formed shortly thereafter. HQ ISAF is the combined/joint headquarters, which manages and executes all NATO-led combat, security and reconstruction efforts. The HQ compound takes up the area of approximately one city block, about 400 meters x 400 meters square. As of October 2007, 37 different nations have contributed over 41000 troops to the NATO/ISAF Mission. HQ ISAF consists of approximately 1700 personnel from those supporting nations. It is truly an international as well as US Forces Joint tour experience. ISAF has been charged with securing Afghanistan from the Taliban, al Qaida and factional war lords, so as to allow for the continued growth and validation of the Government of The Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA)."
