Col. Edward L. Fieg Assigned to Middle East

By Greg Fieg

Col. Edward L. Fieg, who has been serving as deputy chief of medical staff at Travis Air Force Base in northern California, has received another assignment in the Middle East.  Dr. Fieg has been named director of Joint Combat Casualty Research in the Afghani and Iraqi theaters of war and will depart April 10, 2011.  This will be his fifth overseas assignment and his third in the Middle East.  The positions he has held include acting surgeon general for the Afghani government, a post which earned him the moniker "Edward of Kandahar" and a Bronze Star for service above and beyond the call of duty.

Ed is the son of the late Franklin W. Fieg and the former Marina Pizano, and grandson of Lothar Fieg Sr.
