    BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan - Multinational service members from Task Force Warrior supported the Afghan national army during a humanitarian assistance mission supplying food, blankets and school supplies to Sultan Khiel Village, Alasay District, Kapisa province, April 4.

    French Task Force Tiger, comprised of the 27th Alpine Hunter Battalion, as well as Soldiers and Airmen from the Kapisa and Parwan Provincial Reconstruction Team, assisted with security as ANA soldiers distributed school supplies to 250 boys and food and blankets to the adults.

    "Like most occasions when we show up, the people and children immediately started coming out of the woodwork to our location," said Air Force Master Sgt. Todd Davis, Kapisa and Parwan PRT engineer.

    Flour, beans, rice, and blankets were given to families who lined up during the event. International Security Assistance Force backpacks, chalk boards and other school supplies were distributed to the children.

    "Our recent joint operations in support of the ANA to clear and hold the Alasay District center are having positive results for the people of Alasay," said Task Force Warrior deputy commander, Army Col. Stephen Jeselink, referring to improvements in security and connecting the people of Alasay to their government and resources.
