After the Task Force identified that fighters were massing in the Naran Darre mountains, its first objective is to obtain intelligence on the suspected cave complex. Grayhawk's hand-picked team was tasked with close target reconnaissance.
Although the terrain was difficult, the team was able to enter the AO undetected due to Grayhawk’s knowledge of the routes and goat trails in the mountains. The team climbed high into the mountains to conduct environmental reconnaissance.
The recon team confirmed that enemy fighters were present in the area of the suspected cave complex, however, they were unable to observe the size of the complex. The team also identified several HLZs where the assault force could be inserted. This vital intelligence was fed back to the Task Force.

Dawn raids saw 5 people arrested as part of a crackdown on an organised crime group operating across several areas in England.
This morning (Thursday 16 May 2019) a team of officers executed warrants at 7 addresses in Oldham.
The warrants were executed as part of Operation Hansford – set up by GMP officers to target an organised crime group believed to be involved in crimes committed across England, spanning several force areas- including Greater Manchester, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire.
As part of Operation Hansford detectives have investigated 120 offences including aggravated burglary, robbery, car theft, assault, violent disorder and criminal damage – all believed to be orchestrated by the same organised crime group.
Chief Superintendent Neil Evans, GMP’s Territorial Commander with responsibility for Oldham said: “Today we have 5 people in custody and that is a testament to the hard work and dedication of the team here in Oldham, who have worked tirelessly in order to disrupt this organised crime group.
“Today’s action has been supported from officers across GMP; however I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our colleagues from West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, Derbyshire and Lancashire – all of whom have supported this investigation from the very outset.
“The importance of our investigation and the severity of the crimes committed should not be underestimated. Organised criminal activity destroys people’s livelihoods and blights communities. I hope that today’s action demonstrates to those who have been affected by such criminality just how dedicated we are in bringing those responsible to justice, as well as our absolute commitment to making the streets of Greater Manchester a safer place.
“I would also like to emphasise that Operation Hansford remains very much ongoing.”

Operation Market Garden 81st Anniversary Commemoration.
A Bridge too far.
Operation Market Garden (17–25 September 1944) was an Allied military operation planned, and predominantly led, by the British. It was fought in the Netherlands and Germany in World War II. The success of the operation depended on taking a series of nine bridges, the last being at the city of Arnhem over the Rhine river. Airborne and land forces succeeded in the liberation of the Dutch cities of Eindhoven and Nijmegen, but failed in keeping their farthest positions in and around the city of Arnhem including the bridge over the Rhine.

The warrants were executed as part of Operation Rudow a multi-agency operation targeting organised crime and the supply of drugs across Greater Manchester.
Chief Inspector Andy Cunliffe, of GMP’s City of Manchester team, said: "Drugs ruin lives and destroy communities. We will systematically root out and dismantle groups that seek to profit from flooding our streets with drugs.
"Today, we have made arrests after executing warrants across North Manchester.
"By sharing information with our partners, we are better equipped to tackle organised crime and make it impossible for them to profit from it.
"I'd like to thank the community who came forward with information that has proved vital in making this enforcement action a success.
“We still however, need people to come forward with information to prevent people from benefiting from the proceeds of crime at the demise of others. If you know about it, report it.
"Organised crime has no place on the streets of Greater Manchester and we will continue to work tirelessly to remove the scourge of criminal gangs."
Anyone with information should contact police on 101 or Crimestoppers, anonymously, on 0800 555 111.

RICHMOND, Virginia – A weeklong, large-scale gang enforcement operation, labeled “Operation Washout” wrapped up on May 24, resulting in 90 arrests of alleged violent offenders and fugitives.
The U.S. Marshals Service led multiple federal, state and local law enforcement agencies working around the clock May 20-24, concentrating their efforts primarily on known gang members wanted in the Richmond and Tri-Cities areas. Of the 90 arrests, 22 were documented gang members. Many other arrests were of suspected gang members or associates. Additional state and federal prosecutions are pending on those arrested where drug, gun or other crime evidence was seized during or subsequent to the person’s arrest.
The U.S. Marshals Service’s national fugitive initiative known as Operation Washout is deployed to local communities to bring immediate relief from violent, gang-related crime. The collaborative law enforcement effort is focused on targeting and arresting violent fugitives wanted for high-profile crimes such as homicide, felony assault and sexual assault, illegal possession of firearms, illegal drug distribution, robbery and arson.

A suspects is lead away.
An initiative to strengthen community spirit and tackle crime in Halliwell was launched this week by police and Bolton Council.
Operation Viking, which will run for 12 weeks, will see more officers working in the area and focusing in particular on those who trade in stolen goods.
To mark the launch of the operation, raids were carried out at addresses in Halliwell and other areas of the town, resulting in 8 arrests.
Reassurance leaflets were delivered to neighbouring premises and households as the raids were executed, and messages were sent out on Twitter to inform people what was happening.
Following the raids a community event was staged at the ‘Cop Shop’ mobile police station in the heart of the area.
The event was attended by key members of the Viking team, including local police officers, the council’s community safety team and local council members, and allowed residents and businesses to talk to those involved and ask questions about the initiative.
The community safety team handed out crime prevention materials and newsletters focusing on Halliwell, and community volunteers were on hand to inform people about the work they do. Police mascot ‘Pippa the Panda’ was also available to hand out stickers and balloons to children.
Chief Inspector Carol Martin, who is leading on Operation Viking, said: “This fresh injection of officers is intended to support the good work that is already being done in Halliwell by the local neighbourhood policing team. As well as working closely with the council, we want the community to get involved by offering solutions to problems, or by approaching us with any information about criminal activity.
“It is vital that we work together to drive down crime in the area, and I would urge people to always say no if they are offered stolen goods, as there is a victim behind each one. Finally, I have a simple message for anyone selling such items – we are committed to rooting out offenders, and we will use all our powers to bring you to justice.”

John had this brown mark for around 10 years. In the last few months it started affecting his eyesight causing things to look more blurred and his eyes to water a lot. Finally he went to the doctors and within a month they operated. This is a skin cancer called Lentigo Maligna and it can be either benign or malignant. We are now awaiting the results of the biopsy and hope that its not malignant and that his eyesight will not be permanently impaired. Already (a week after the operation) his sight is improving. The operation was done under local anaesthetic and he was able to go home straight away. If you have something like this GET IT SEEN NOW!!
Vehicles lined up prior to the operation's briefing.
Five people were arrested and more than 30 uninsured cars taken off the roads during a GMP operation involving more than 60 Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras.
ANPR devices are used by police around the UK to detect and remove serious criminals, unsafe vehicles and unsafe drivers from our roads.
Operation Galileo ran between 3pm and 11pm on Thursday 30 June 2011, more than 150 police officers were involved in the force-wide operation.
ANPR devices scan vehicle registrations and check them against information stored on the Police National Computer (PNC) and other databases. Officers are instantly alerted if the vehicle is of interest to police. Those vehicles are then stopped by police and the occupants spoken to.
Officers intercepted 87 vehicles and seized 31 cars that were being driven without insurance.
Superintendent Craig Thompson, from GMPs Specialist Operations Branch, said: ‘Many criminals rely on vehicles to commit crime and by denying them use of the roads we are better placed to enforce the law and prevent and detect crime.
’We know there is a strong link between illegal use of motor vehicles on the road and other types of serious crime and ANPR cameras are an invaluable tool in our fight against committed criminals and organised crime groups.
’The message to those who flout the rules of the road or who use our highways in the pursuit of crime is quite simple - we will use all the equipment available to us to identify you and bring you to justice.
’We have seized dozens of cars that were being driven without insurance and it is these drivers that can have the biggest impact and cause the most inconvenience to other motorists.
’The public should be reassured that this is by no means a one-off operation and we will be carrying out similar crackdowns in the near future.
’We are committed to ensuring that the majority of people who lawfully use our roads continue to do so unhindered’.

Greater Manchester Police stopped 627 vehicles in a day of action targeting criminals using the roads and motorway networks across the county.
Yesterday (Wednesday 4 July) more than 160 specialist operations and divisional police officers and 42 Specials Constables were involved in a crackdown conducting roadside checks at numerous sites across the force area.
As a result of the operation 23 arrests were made for offences including burglary, theft of motor vehicle, metal theft and drugs offences.
Also as part of the operation, 49 cars that were being driven without insurance or road tax were seized. A total of 290 fixed penalty notices were issued together with 269 drivers receiving advice for various road traffic offences.
During the operation Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras were used to detect vehicles being driven illegally or having a connection with criminal activity. These cameras are used to scan vehicle registrations as they drive past and police are automatically alerted if the vehicle is linked to intelligence on known criminals.
Superintendent Craig Thompson, from GMP’s Specialist Operations Branch, said: “The operation was geared to disrupting the illegal activities of criminals using the roads in Greater Manchester.
“Criminals tend not to be over concerned about ensuring their vehicles are insured and taxed. Many are also unroadworthy and pose a real danger to other road users.
“By targeting them in this way we are able to get them off the roads, make our highways safer for everyone and harder for offenders to commit crime.
“Criminals can be assured that this is not just a one-off operation. We have patrols on the roads 365 days of the year and will continue to target criminals in this way. We are determined not to allow people to drive untaxed, uninsured cars on our roads.”
“Law-abiding citizens can help us keep criminals off our roads by reporting illegal use of vehicles to us directly on 101, the new national non-emergency number, or anonymously through Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111. Crimestoppers is an independent charity that will not want your name, just your information. Your call will not be traced or recorded and you do not have to go to court or give a statement.”
