Ma'Sum Ghar, Afghanistan
The crew of an American Blackhawk helicopter preparer to fly a patient from the Forward Operating Base (FOB) at Ma'sum Ghar to Kandahar Airfield for treatment. A force protection soldier from the U.S. 82nd Airborne displays a sense of humour.
About 2500 members of the Canadian Forces (CF) are currently serving as part of Joint Task Force Afghanistan. Most of the soldiers are stationed at Kandahar Airfield and at Camp Nathan Smith, Canada’s Provincial reconstruction Team (PRT) in Kandahar City. Other personnel are assigned to various military headquarters, a support base, and civilian organizations.
They play a key role in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force mission whose goal is to improve the security situation in Afghanistan and assist in rebuilding the country.
