Master Sgt. William Carty (left), brigade communications non-commissioned officer-in-charge, 4th Combat Aviation Brigade, 4th Infantry Division, Multi-National Division - Baghdad, and his team of Soldiers stand in front of a newly constructed 55 feet radio tower outside the "Iron Eagle" brigade's Tactical Operation Center at Camp Taji, Dec. 4. With the completion of the tower, high quality radio frequency modulation is now available to all 'Iron Eagle' Soldiers regardless of geographical location. The master sergeant from Lubbock, Texas, and his crew were able to construct the tower with materials left behind by redeploying units at virtually no cost to the brigade. The project was originally estimated to cost more than $250,000.
