Summary

[edit]
Description

- The combat skills of the ANAAC continue to grow. Yesterday two Mi-17 helicopters flew to Camp Morehead to link up with the 6th Commando Kandak & Operational Detachment-Alpha (ODA) 3336. There they briefed with the 6th Kandak and practiced loading and unloading of the troops.

- At 1000hrs the two Mi-17s inserted 39 commandos at their objective, the village of Gazar, then took off and returned to Camp Morehead. Gazar is a small village located in a valley southwest of Kabul and has been used as a staging area for Taliban militants conducting operations in and around Kabul. Yesterday's mission was to secure the town and meet with the leaders in a Shura to prevent the Taliban from returning for this year's fighting season.

- Besides the Shura movement, the Mi-17s transported medical equipment for the ODA team members to provide care to the locals in an ongoing effort to win the hearts and minds of the local Afghans. The members of the ODA team also delivered school supplies for the children of Gazar.

- At 1330 hrs the Mi-17s returned to Gazar and extracted the commandos that had successfully completed their mission and safely returned them to Camp Morehead.
