Bloggers Roundtable with LTC Hall from 2/7 Marines



Yesterday I participated in a Bloggers Roundtable with 2/7 Marines Battalion Commander, LTC Rich Hall. I have had the chance to interview LTC Hall several times through this tour from the very beginning when he got there. There was only one other blogger on the call with me, but this was good becuase we had the chance to ask multiple questions and with LTC Hall’s thorough explanations the half hour was quickly filled up.

He talked about the actions of his Marines and defined the differences between in-district reform and focused-district development with the Afghan Police. I also asked him about the unity of command and the issues he had when he first got into country with no clear lines of command above his unit. Troop Morale, preparing for the hand-off to 3/8 Marines and many other topics were discussed. I encourage you to click the link below and spend a half-hour listening to a great interview.
