British 16 Air Assault Brigade
British Army trucks from the 13 Air Assault Support Regiment drive through the desert during an operation to deliver supplies to several British Army Forward Operating bases (FOB) in the Helmand Province on July 16, 2008 in the Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The 13th Air Assault Support Regiment provides logistic support to the multi-national force in Helmand Province. The British drivers navigate hostile desert terrain to deliver combat supplies, ammunitions, food, water and engineering equipment. During a recent operation, drivers spent 48 hours avoiding enemy forces, mine fields and indirect fire. On return to Camp Bastion, vehicles are serviced immediately for further operations leaving little recreational time for the British soldiers who work in heat reaching 54 degrees celcius and drive on terrain without recognizable roads.
