An Afghan national army officer briefs his troops on procedure prior to departure on a patrol near Canadian Forward Operating Base Ma'sum Ghar, Afghanistan. The patrol is being supervised by Canada's Operational Mentoring Liaison Team (OMLT), a group of military advisors coaching the Afghan soldiers in operations, tactics and training. About 2,500 members of the Canadian forces (CF) are currently serving as part of Joint Task Force Afghanistan. Most of the soldiers are stationed at Kandahar Airfield and at Camp Nathan Smith, Canada's provincial reconstruction team (PRT) in Kandahar City. Other personnel are assigned to various military headquarters, a support base, and civilian organizations.
