WTVF (CBS Affiliate) photojournalist Mark Martin and reporter Dana Kaye were embedded journalists with the Army 2nd Battalion, 187th regiment of the 101st Airborne Division for 5 weeks. They traveled into Iraq via ground assault convoy the first night of the ground war. Their unit’s mission was to establish and defend Rapid Refueling Point Exxon, 30 miles south of Nasiriyah, Iraq.
"As a network affiliate, planning to cover a war was way out of our league. Typically we would rely on the network to gather and transmit news coverage. But due to our proximity to Ft. Campbell, home of the 101st Airborne, we along with other Nashville affiliates were invited to become embedded journalists. In our briefings we were told we would need to travel light and travel fast. With no guarantee of video uplink capabilities, we called Outfitter Satellite for possible solutions. The Regional BGAN fit our needs perfectly. It was small, light, fast and easy to setup. Because we made the decision to use non-broadcast gear (miniDV cams, laptop computer with editing software) combined with the Regional BGAN we were the only Nashville affiliate to transmit news stories from Iraq on a daily basis. Since the system has no airtime fees and charges are based on data sent, we were able to monitor our costs The Regional BGAN was an affordable solution that fit our needs and exceeded our expectations. In the middle of the Iraqi desert we were able to tell the stories of the men and women serving our country and beat the competition. The Regional BGAN was our link. "- Mark Martin and Dana Kaye, Embedded journalists in Iraq War 2003
