 U.S. Marines for military information support operations spend their morning hiking along the ridgetops of mountains in Kajaki, Afghanistan. They're not doing it for fun, they're not doing it to sightsee, they're doing it to pass important messages recorded by Kajaki's district governor. The purpose of the interview is to record a message for the DG to get out to the people because he can't go out and talk to the people on his own. So he used us to put his messages out there for him. Just a day prior, MISO Marines sat down with Kajaki's district governor to capture sound bites used for these messages. Using strategic locations located high on top of these mountains, MISO Marines set up their speaker systems and broadcast the message. The speaker that we use is very effective because down here they don't have that much electricity and not everybody else is to radios. So what they do is they work in their fields and we go up to the mountains and we broadcast and they broadcast like three or four clicks and they're out in the fields and they can hear it perfectly like he's talking to them one-on-one on person. Another advantage with using the speaker system is the Marines become very mobile, allowing them to easily broadcast messages to multiple areas throughout Kajaki. The benefits of using this speaker is that we can put his voice out anywhere in the whole district. It's a lot better than going out and talking face to face because we can't reach everyone face to face. So what we do is we broadcast and they can spread his message through the word of mouth by talking to each other. Using a simple loud speaker and an iPod, MISO Marines play a vital role in helping the district governor pass information to the people of Kajaki.
