Phoenix native, Col. Mark D. Collins, commander, 82nd Sustainment Brigade-U.S. Central Command Materiel Recovery Element, and Brig. Gen. John J.T. Thomson, deputy commanding general-support, 4th Infantry Division, along with other leaders from 82nd SB-CMRE receive a briefing on the newly opened ammunition incinerator at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan Dec. 23. The incinerator provides a safe way to dispose of excess small arms ammunition rounds of .50 caliber or less. The 82nd SB-CMRE will use the incinerator as part of its goal of materiel reduction which saves taxpayers money as it would cost more to ship the rounds back to the U.S. than to dispose of them.
