Soldiers from A Company of the 1st Battalion Royal Gurkha Rifles search for Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) during a patrol near Nahr e Saraj village, in Helmand on June 23, 2010. The Kabul government got behind US General Stanley McChrystal, hoping he keeps his job despite the furore over an interview in which he criticised top American officials. Defence ministry spokesman General Mohammad Zahir Azimi said there had been great improvements since McChrystal took command of NATO's International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) last year.
U.K. Lance Cpl. Mark Waddingham, and other soldiers with the 664 Squadron of the U.K.'s Army Air Corps, take a wild ride on a United States Marine Corps MV-22B Osprey with Marine Medium Tiltrotor Squadron 365, 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward). The U.K. soldiers were invited to the squadron to see how the U.S. aviation crews work. It was one of several visits as both country's aviation service members visited each others' squadrons. Both services were amazed at the similarities in operations and squadron layouts. However, the 664 Squadron soldiers learned something about the Marines’ Ospreys. The soldiers are familiar with agile aircraft because they work with AH-64D Apache light attack helicopters over on the other side of the flight line. However, the smiles seemed almost permanent as the soldiers finished their ride on the much-larger Osprey, boasting how impressed they were with the aircraft's capability to pull off roller coaster-like moves.

Commanding Officer of the First Mentoring Task Force (MTF1), Lieutenant Colonel Jason Blain was accompanied by senior MTF1 staff during a recent reconnaissance of Sajawul and Khuajem Ahmad in the Baluchi Valley Region.
The “recce” provided the CO and his staff an opportunity to understand the on-the-ground situation and to get a sense of the subtle differences between the villages.
The activity began with an Afghan National Army (ANA) led patrol to Sajawul where the party met with key locals over a chai tea to continue shura discussions about security and development in the area.
During the meetings, MTF1 personnel obtained a clearer understanding of the development projects that could be undertaken by the local population with appropriate funding and equipment.
Previous Australian contingents in the Sajawul area set a solid framework for ongoing community support and participation with local tribal elders demonstrating a high level of trust and faith in the MTF, ANA and ISAF.
MTF1 is focused on enhancing relationships with the local people with a view to expanding security and expanding opportunities for wider local development.

I took these photos at the Final Retreat Ceremony for Fort Monmouth, New Jersey. It was a very sad occasion for all. The most difficult thing for me was talking to some Army widows before the ceremony (several of whom had been in the area since the 1950s or 1960s) who were almost in tears because their husbands moved them to the Ft. Monmouth area before they died so that they would always be next to an Army base that would have soldiers and civilians to take care of them. Good going, BRAC Committee, you’ve scared a bunch of old women and messed with their lives. I hope you’re happy!

Southern Musket
Midway between Granity and Karamea the bush is as dense and daunting as the West Coast can offer.
Barely penetrable in parts, Little Wanganui is untouched and beautiful to an onlooker, especially from the air. But to the young soldiers who have been making their way north through it for the best part of five days it’s, well, ‘what you get in the Army’ one says, with only a hint of a smile.
Rain has pelted down on them throughout much of their trek. They live in sodden hutchies, eating ration packs when they can, and keeping a close eye out for an elusive enemy.
This is Southern Musket, 3 Land Force Group’s second major training activity for the year. It’s a counter insurgency exercise with a contemporary twist in countryside as close and harsh as anything much you’ll get in New Zealand. And very few of the soldiers and officers have been here before, which means they have little real knowledge of the terrain and must stay constantly alert and navigate carefully.
But all that is an important part what makes for a highly beneficial exercise in which skills can be tuned, and lessons learned, says the Commanding Officer, of 2/1 Battalion 1RNZIR, Lieutenant Colonel Hugh McAslan.
The exercise encompasses several different units and scenarios, and while in Little Wanganui a platoon is pursuing an enemy party. Back in Marlborough early on in the exercise the soldiers conducted a non-combatant evacuation involving 50 local volunteers. 18 November 2010
