CAMP SHORABAK, Afghanistan – More than 1,000 Afghan soldiers with 215th Maiwand Corps swore the Afghan Army’s Oath of Allegiance during a ceremony on Camp Shorabak, Nov. 8.
“This oath is a promise,” said Brig. Gen. Zamin Hassan Ehsan, the 215th Maiwand Corps Chief of Staff, as the soldiers echoed his words in unison. “The promise is to help your friends, help your country and help the people.
When the ceremony concluded, more than 1,000 Afghan soldiers had taken the oath and will soon be sent throughout Helmand province to their new duty stations as a surge of force for the Afghan Army.
“You are soldiers today, but you will be the future of Afghanistan tomorrow,” said Brig. Gen. Hassan Ehsan to the soldiers taking the oath. “The responsibility of the country will soon be yours. You must be there for the people because they are your people. You must protect their land because it is your land. This is our home. We are one brother fighting against one enemy, and we will protect the people.”
