Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Cranes work throughout the night to dismantle the last of the communication systems used by troops in FOB (Forward Operating Base) Shawqat.

British troops left the Nad-e Ali District of Helmand Province, as Afghan forces provide security for the local population.

UK forces began operations in Nad-e Ali in 2006, working to clear the area of insurgent activity and intimidation while building and developing the capability of the Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police.

As members of the final unit, 2nd Battalion, The Duke of Lancaster’s Regiment (2 LANCS) leave, Nad-e Ali. It has been completely transformed, boasting a bustling bazaar, 29 schools, with almost 10,000 children in education – over 1000 of which are girls – and four healthcare clinics.
