An Interview with Captain Coulson



CPT Coulson is the commanding officer of Alpha Company, Task Force 321 Engineers (Task Force Pathfinder)

FALLUJAH, IRAQ: One of the best sources of
news on the situation in Iraq is from the officers and enlisted serving
in the theater who maintain military blogs. While at Camp Fallujah, I
met up with one such Milblogger. Captain Eric Coulson is the commanding
officer of Alpha Company, Task Force 321 Engineers (Task Force
Pathfinder), and the author of Badgers Forward,
one of the finest Milblogs out there. Captain Coulson's battalion
replaced the 54th Engineers, a unit I embedded with last year to go on an IED hunt in Ramadi.

At his blog, Captain Coulson provides insight on the the fight
against the insurgency in Anbar province and the hunt for roadside
bombs [IEDs], as well as a look at the the daily life of a soldier
serving in Iraq. Road Work, Night Moves and So what does an IED look like? are essential reading for understanding the fight in Anbar province. A Cold Wind Blows and Battle Update Brief
provide insight into camp life and the challenges of command. Captain
Coulson also has a blogger in the ranks. The Teflon Don runs Acute Politics, another fine military blog that should be on your reading list.
