Baytown soldier answers call
BY CAPT. GINA GORIS

CpI. Jeffrey Gober of Baytown native, has been answering the call of his com-
mander, May. Carl Lockett, during operations as the only forward observer
assigned to the 5K “Miners” security force advisory team at forward Operat-
ing Base Hadrian in Deh Rawud, Uruzgan.
TARIN KOT, Afghanistan - Since his arrival
to Afghanistan, Cpl. Jeffrey Gober a Baytown
native, has been answering his team’s call as the
only forward observer assigned to the “5K Min-
ers,” a 12-man security force advisory team at
Forward Operating Base Hadrian.
The team is comprised of Texas Nation-
al Guardsman from the 56th Infantry Brigade
Combat Team and as the man out front he is re-
sponsible for directing artillery fire and air sup-
port help illuminate the skies as SFAT and Af-
ghan Uniform Police conduct operations in Deh
Rawud district.
“When the mission was assigned in spring of
2012, Cpl. Gober was handpicked for this mis-
sion because of his skill set,” said SFAT com-
mander, Maj. Carl Lockett. Gober was originally
part of the 72nd IBCT, but when this mission
came up he was transitioned to 56th IBCT.
This transition has helped improve the “Min-
er” Team’s mission goals at FOB Hadrian.
“Even though the forward observer does not
directly partner with the Afghans, he is indi-
rectly influencing the AUP and the “5K Min-
ers” mission,” Locket said. “Some days he’s'
the commander’s security during shuras, then
the following day he is my “go to” person
during mission briefs where he analyzes key
terrain.”
“My favorite is when l get to be a “Fister,” a
call for fire support element, illuminating the
insurgents with artillery as the AUP and coali-
tion conduct operations,” said Cpl. Gober.
During fire missions, Gober is always quick
