A few images of 1RCR at Camp Masoom Ghar.

Canadian troops arrive from a foot patrol to Camp Masoom Ghar in Panjwa'i district south west of Kandahar City May 17, 2010.

The correct spelling is Ma'sum Ghar. Its changed alot since I was there on TF1-07.

Charles Coy, 1 RCR has a special history with Mas'um Ghar.  Back when it was known as Battle Position 101, the company was rendered combat ineffective due to a heavy day's fighting, combined the next day with that A-10 strike.  In the end, the OC along with one other soldier (who frequents these very forums, no less) were the first Canadians to return to Afghanistan after suffering some very serious wounds in that strike.

I imagine that if there are any 3-06 Charles Coy veterans there, they would certainly notice one heck of a huge difference in that little neck of the woods.

Thanks for posting these pics, T-6!

Oh Ma'Sum Ghar..... such great memories  :

It has changed considerably since I and the rest of my company took that Mountain and of course the events that followed in the subsequent days. I was in that region in the summer of last year and saw just how much it had changed from when I left it last in Feb 07 it was almost a different place.

I have friends there again and someone closer then that living there now seems that Mountain and I will be linked for a little bit more time.

Oh and to clarify the OC was injured in the strike and the soldier in the fighting with the TB the previous day.

Thanks for the pics T6

Small correction, MSG was Battle Position 301.

And yes, there are a significant number of 3-06 C-Coy vets back at MSG.  Charles Company does NOT fu*k around.

The only thing worse than being in Afghanistan right now is being stuck back in Canada...

Clearly the Technoviking doesn`t make mistakes so the history book should now reflect that it is BP 101 because TECHNOVIKING SAYS SO!  ;D
