Brig. Gen. Walter D. Givhan, commanding general of the Combined Airpower Transition Force, waits to launch as a passenger on the first Afghan army air corps MI-35 mission to fire the 12.7mm nose gun and 57mm rockets in more than eight years. As training and capabilities grow for the ANAAC, this will allow them to provide close air support to the Afghan national armed forces.
