The ANSF led the counter-insurgency mission as they questioned village elders, searched homes and gathered information to help indentify suspected insurgents and their strongholds. During the mission, Soldiers of 1-33 CAV, provided over-watch security for their Afghan counter-parts while assisting and advising only when needed.
This mission is a full demonstration of the growing capabilities of the ANSF as they progress towards fully-independent operations.
