OPERATION ENDURING FREEDOM -- Capt. Danny Stout, an air liaison officer deployed with the Army's 2-505 Parachute Infantry Regiment of the 82nd Airborne Division, guides A-10 Thunderbolt IIs onto his location in the mountains of Afghanistan. Stout, a B-52 Stratofortress pilot serving a two-year tour with the Army, was part of the initial air assault into the hostile area, where he immediately set up his radio and began talking with the fighter aircraft.
