Tonight I will be posting a few pictures that were taken on our patrol today. I have only been on the ground now for about 2 weeks but already I am noticing some huge differences. The most obvious difference is of course the amount of ISAF presence on the ground. There are Combat Out Posts and Strong Points everywhere. This is what keeps the "dushman" on his toes. For those of you who do not know my team is working exclusively with the American Army, specifically the 10th Mountain Division. The Americans are amazing and have completely adopted us 5 Canucks, I couldn't be happier! These photos were taken while speaking with villagers from a small village a few kilometers from our Strong Point.
Enjoy!
Some of the more typical terrain you will find in the winter. Open fields usually freshly worked which makes for some tough walking.
Taking a break before getting on with it.
A shura with the locals at sundown. In the fore ground you can see me (middle) with the American squad leader and the Doc (Combat Medic)
Very happy to see that you proudly kept the movember out there :) keep writing!
