Dear Family Members of the Charlie Company FRG group,
I am Thomas G. Pledger, the new Company Commander for Charlie Company. Your Soldiers are doing outstanding work here in Afghanistan. During my short time here they have begun working side by side with the Afghans and have opened a completely New Entry Control Point providing better security for Shindand Airbase.
All of your loved ones have begun the process of getting our equipment and work areas ready to hand over to our replacements that will be arriving in theater soon.
We are currently scheduled to de-mobilization at Camp Shelby, date to be determined, approximately May. This will be an extremely busy time and unfortunately, family time will be non-existent. The first time your Soldiers will be available for reunions, will be upon return to the unit armories. Please do not drive to Camp Shelby. Our goal at Camp Shelby is to De-Mobilize as fast as possible, so that the family reunions will be expedited.
Once again, I reiterate, please do not drive to Camp Shelby upon our return, your Soldiers will be unavailable to be seen as we will be trying to get De-Mobilized as quickly as possible.
If you have any concerns please feel free to email me at thomas.pledger@us.army.mil.

Vr

Thomas G. Pledger
