U.S. Army Sgt. Mathew Blum, from Grand Junction, Colo., completes a crossword puzzle while flying from Kuwait to Qatar, Nov. 23, as a U.S. Central Command rest and recuperation pass program participant from Iraq. Soon after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq in 2003, a fighter management pass program began in Qatar, located along the eastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. Third Army/U.S. Army Central Area Support Group Qatar, already present in the Gulf state, initiated the program using existing facilities at Camp As Sayliyah.
