video of one of the last large-scale groups of Soldiers of the 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 1st Infantry Division, leaving Fort Knox, Ky., for Afghanistan Thursday, Jan. 13, 2011. The Soldiers of the 3/1 IBCT, also known as the Duke Brigade, are heading to eastern Afghanistan for a one-year deployment. Their mission will be to assist the Afghan National Security Forces in protecting the Afghan people, neutralizing the insurgency, and setting the conditions necessary for successful transition of regional control to the Afghan government. Col. Christopher Toner, 3/1 commander, was among the Soldiers on the flight; and is confident in his Soldiers' ability to complete their mission. "There comes a stage in the deployment cycle where you're feeling confident in yourself and you want to deploy and assume the mission," he said. "We're at that stage right now." The brigade deployed its first Soldiers in mid-December, and will continue to send groups over through next week. This is the largest  deployment seen at Fort Knox since 1942, garrison officials said.

Here at US Military Videos & Photos we have partnered with USCCA (United States Concealed Carry Association) to bring you this great chance at some great benefits! Our founder and owner, Chris Wagoner, is a life member of USCCA and believes in it completely! Why listen to him you say? Because he is a 33 year+ cop and police firearms instructor. He knows firearms!

USCCA is a great association that is designed to protect and educate the armed citizen! If you are thinking of carrying a firearm for self-protection, already carry one, have firearms in your home or know someone that does, this is for you!

USCCA provides education through its training courses, DVD’s and books. Online resources are first class and very well done. The USCCA magazine “Concealed Carry” is full of great tips, gear reviews, and legal information every responsible gun owner should know. If that was all they did that would be enough to check them out, but what is one of the best benefits is that they will provide legal protection for you if you are involved in that life and death incident where you use your firearm for self-defense! That’s right they have insurance for your firearms and also will provide legal counsel if you need them because of a shooting incident. That alone is worth the membership fees! The piece of mind of knowing you are protected by USCCA in that time of chaos and emotional turmoil is worth it.
