Rock Solid Warrior Published Oct. 18, 2007 386th Expeditionary Mission Support Group SOUTHWEST ASIA -- Master Sgt. Mike Keeler Master Sgt. Mike Keeler 386th Expeditionary Mission Support Group, Det 1 US Army Life Support Area superintendent of force protection Home unit\base: 62d Security Forces Squadron, McChord Air Force Base, WA How do you support the mission here? I manage the Force Protection Mission at the 386th EMSG Det 1 Life Support Area Command Cell. My job includes all Law Enforcement missions, Senior Security Official for the CSA contract Guards and Liaison between the US Army Law Enforcement and US Navy Law Enforcement details. How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? This is my 8th deployment. This one is unique because I work with so many folks from different services. It is interesting to see all the different skill sets each bring to the table when it comes to Force Protection. Our population turns over from 1,500 to 3,000 personnel a night and all the different issues provide for a robust and busy work schedule. How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? Dealing with all different branches as well as our Australian counterparts is a blast. Everyone brings something to the table on how we can improve our operations at the LSA. The CSA security guard aspect is also very rewarding as they are doing a job normally held by a US Military member and their being here allows our troops to fight the war on terror.
