179th Infantry Regiment — Tomahawks | Afghanistan | Transition I | 2011 | CIB | OIF | Afghan Service | 15oz Black Ceramic Mug
Tomahawks. Afghanistan. Transition I. 2011. Combat Proven.
This premium 15oz black ceramic mug honors the 179th Infantry Regiment — Tomahawks veterans who deployed to Afghanistan in 2011 as part of Operation Enduring Freedom — Transition I, featuring the Combat Infantryman Badge (CIB), the OIF service ribbon, and the Afghanistan Campaign Service ribbon — the full combat record of a Tomahawk who served during one of the most critical transition phases of the war.
The 179th Infantry Regiment “Tomahawks” of the Oklahoma Army National Guard deployed to Afghanistan during Transition I — a pivotal phase of Operation Enduring Freedom focused on transferring lead security responsibility to Afghan National Security Forces while maintaining combat readiness and pressure on insurgent networks. The soldiers of the 179th who served in this phase operated in a complex and evolving environment, balancing combat operations with the demanding work of advising, training, and enabling Afghan forces to take the lead.
The CIB earned during Transition I represents ground combat in one of the most operationally complex environments of the entire war. For the Tomahawks who were there, this mug is a tribute to that service — the missions run, the ground held, and the transition mission executed with professionalism and courage.
