The Blimp


Ghazni is a rough province. It's hot, dry, mountainous, and crawling with Taliban. With all of the inherent dangers here, it's nice having our giant blimp hovering overhead. The blimp is tethered to the base and is our eye in the sky, thanks to the high-tech imaging equipment mounted to it. The blimp can see for miles and miles, and the bad guys know it, so for the most part, they don't attempt to attack us here at the base. There is the occasional attack however, but usually minor.
