Kabul Diary

Iain arrived in Kabul on August 4, 2003 to begin a six-month deployment with the Royal Canadian Dragoons. His unit, ISTAR, has a special mission in Afghanistan. Read about it in a National Post article. More news about ISTAR appeared on November 6, when Canadian Press published an article about ISTAR receiving the new Sperwer unmanned aerial vehicle.
