Experiment will help special forces, ports
At Joint Expeditionary Force Experiment 2006, the USAF will experiment with a helium or hydrogen balloon that can climb to an altitude of above 90,000 feet to act as a communications relay post for special forces.

This will give Special Forces teams scattered in mountainous regions like Afghanistan the ability to use radios.
