I\u2019m your host Lt. Col. Mark Hasara, retired Air Force KC-135 pilot, Weapons School graduate, and aviation fanatic for over 60 years. Strap in for this one\u2014because we\u2019re bringing serious airpower experience to the table. Joining me today is one of the smartest Air Force officers I\u2019ve ever worked with\u2014Lt. Col. Joe \u201cTAZZ\u201d Katuzeinski. He and I go way back to our Weapons and Tactics days at Kadena Air Base in Okinawa in the '90s. Since then, TAZZ has led combat operations from the heart of Iraq to the highest levels of campaign planning. TAZZ served as the Operations Support Squadron Commander at Baghdad International Airport in 2006 and returned in 2008 as a strategist for the Surge and its air campaign, helping dismantle terror networks and put major pressure on insurgents and Hezbollah operatives backed by Iran\u2019s Qassem Soleimani. These stories aren\u2019t just historic\u2014they\u2019re tactical gold. This is air campaign planning at its highest level\u2014and it\u2019s all in this episode. \ud83d\udee9\ufe0f Sponsor Highlight \u2013 Wall Pilot Aviation Art Support for this show comes from Wall Pilot\u2014your source for high-quality vinyl aircraft profile art.
