    Staff Sgt. Brandon Hilker, infantryman with 2nd Battalion, 28th Infantry Regiment, Task Force Black Lions, provides over watch for explosive ordinance disposal team members and local police in the Orgun-E district of Eastern Paktika. Acting on a tip about a possible improvised explosive device from the local police chief, Zarif Khan, coalition forces moved in to identify and render the device safe. Located in a steep cliff overlooking a major road and surrounded by civilian foot traffic, the device posed a serious threat to the local civilians, Khan said.
