Soldiers from Co. C, joined Afghan National Army Soldiers from Weapons Company, 1st Battalion, 201st Infantry Corp, on the patrol. After seven hours of dismounted searching through rugged terrain, Co. C and their Afghan counterparts located an improvised explosive device along Route Iowa, thanks to a tip from someone in the area of Tupac, Afghanistan. Photo by U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Ryan C.

Love the mountains in the background, it adds to the Welcome to Afghanistan feel Also love the Sergeant's MOE hand guards and stock on his m4. I am confused on why he wearing tan boots when most soldiers use those Brown Climbing boots?
They do, but they function different from the Boots issued. The brown hiking boots are said to "give soldiers better footing" on rocky terrain such as in Afghanistan, I personally do not know about that, but that is what I have heard.
And ditto on the MOE.
