Joint Task Force ODIN or JTF ODIN Located in Bagram, Kandahar, MeS, Jalalabad, Afghanistan and other places Operating UAVs, MARSS (BE300, similar to MC-12W), Dash 8 haviland. As referenced in in Secretary of Defense Bill Gates’ book- We Observe, Detect, Identify and Neutralize the enemy.

The unit was formed at Fort Hood Texas and first deployed in October 2006. An Army article says the unit is meant to meet "the critical requirement to 'win back the roads' using Army Aviation assets to maintain a persistent stare over demonstrated at-risk areas for IEDs." The United States Army stood up TF ODIN as a Quick Reaction Capabilities project whose efficacy proved so effective it shaped the Secretary of Defense Directive to establish the Air Force Project Liberty and other ISR related missions. 

ODIN is the Army's only unit that flies the MQ-1B Warrior-Alpha unmanned aerial vehicle. Built by General Atomics Aeronautical Systems, the extended-range multi-purpose hybrid UAV has an advanced sensor package incorporating electro-optical sensors, including FLIR, and synthetic aperture radar together with a laser rangefinder and a laser designator, the latter for "painting" targets for strikes with Hellfire missiles and laser-guided bombs.
