Night Ops

Recently I found myself on the roof of a 10 story building in downtown Baghdad. I was there to coordinate some line-of-sight/dead-reckoning from this high point to other fixed locations throughout the city. This was in preparation of setting up a microwave encrypted communications system. We were using a high powered IR spotlight to "paint" (illuminate) pre-designated spots. The IR system allowed us to do this in the dark so that we weren't a target for snipers.

Fun stuff...
