Talk:Task Force ODIN

MUC Documentation

Wow there is so much wrong in this article. TF ODIN is not any single unit, but a Task Force. This means that they are made up of a mixture of military units from all branches, government agencies, and government contractors. It was not one, but two battalions at Fort Hood. TF ODIN-A was not a sister unit, but a Task Force deployed to Afghanistan made up of most of the same components as the original TF ODIN in Iraq. TF ODIN-E was not made by combining TF ODIN and TF ODIN-A (they are made up of the same units), but came about because of an increase in capabilities. The -E stands for "Enhanced". The listed sub-units (Highlighter, Desert Owl and Night Eagle) are not actually units but sensor platforms. Calling them subunits of ODIN is would be the same as saying an Air Force unit that flies the F-22 has a sub-division named Raptor. Add details from the 116th MI BG, specifically the 206th and 306th MI BNs. While the 306th has been deflagged, those two units are the core of TF ODIN and this can be found in multiple army articles over the internet. With a quick search http://www.forthoodsentinel.com/news/mission-success-206th-uncases-colors/article_ecd640a8-6120-11e9-a1d0-8f0599c7ed18.html where you will find the line "In addition to their outstanding intelligence achievements, the 206th received the Fixed Wing Unit of the Year award. The unit was selected based on their support to U.S. Forces Afghanistan, for the safe accomplishment of intelligence missions overseas as Task Force ODIN."

Is there some documentation on the MUC that the 24th ID awarded TF ODIN? Lambeth1661 (talk) 22:00, 20 July 2010 (UTC)
