BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghanistan - The Afghan government, its citizens and Afghan national security forces throughout Nuristan province are taking full advantage of the skills, training and mentoring provided by Task Force Mountain Warrior service members to improve the security and quality of life for the people in the province.
Afghan national police, assigned to Nuristan Gov. Jamaluddin Badr's personal security detail, conducted weapons training alongside Task Force Mountain Warrior service members with the Nuristan Provincial Reconstruction Team at Forward Operating Base Kalagush in Nuristan province, Afghanistan, July 23. The 10 ANP officers demonstrated outstanding marksmanship. At the conclusion of the training ANP Gen. Qasim presented the policemen with certificates for their outstanding achievement.
Construction of the Wama District Center began with a ground-breaking ceremony, July 20. A construction company gathered along with local villagers and leaders to start digging the foundation. The sub-governor, Din Muhammed, and the local police chief laid the first stone. The ceremony also included a luncheon sponsored by the construction company.
Nuristan PRT sponsors a weekly training session for local villagers to learn basic construction skills. An Afghan engineer, Zalmi, conducts the classroom training for villagers who participate. Those who attend the class at least three times are given ten bags of concrete per week for a project that will benefit their village. With regular attendance and project progress reports, each student continues to receive bags of concrete for their project.
