DONNELLY BRIEFED IN AFGHANISTAN BY LEBAMOFF & MISKELLY
U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly (D-IN), a member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, recently led a congressional fact-finding mission in Afghanistan and was briefed by two Fort Wayne natives serving with the NATO mission in Kabul. The briefing occurred during Donnelly’s visit to Afghanistan, Pakistan and Turkey in May.
Lebamoff briefed Sen. Donnelly on efforts to professionalize the Afghan National Police as they transition from fighting the insurgency to a “community policing” model. Lebamoff is assisting the Afghans in writing a new criminal procedure code and a code of ethics for the police as well as setting up a police review board.

He has previously served in Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, St. Petersburg (Russia), El Salvador, Iraq, Ciudad Juarez (Mexico), New Zealand and Nepal. He is a former Fulbright Fellow.

Miskelly attended Fort Wayne Christian School and the U.S. Naval Academy at Annapolis. He is also a diplomat, having previously served in Nogales (Mexico) and Fiji, but is now serving as a Naval Reserve Officer on active duty for this tour.
