The final days of Joint Base Balad
JOINT BASE BALAD, Iraq –
Transferring Joint Base Balad to the government of Iraq was part of the largest military transition since World War II.
Col. Brent Bigger, 332nd Expeditionary Mission Support Group commander, arrived at JBB four months prior to the transition in July 2011.
“When I first arrived everything was go, go, go; operations, operations, operations,” said Bigger, who is deployed from the Pentagon. “I thought, ‘It doesn’t seem like we’re closing the base.’ I expected to walk in, clean up and get out.”
As the 332nd EMSG commander, Bigger had to balance transitioning the base while still supporting the critical F-16 top cover mission.
