Corporal Sebastien Gratton from Bulldog (Bravo) Company, 1er Battalion, Royal 22e Régiment Battle Group (1R22eR BG), provides local security in Nakhonay during Operation HAMAGHE SHAY where clearance patrols searched for caches of weapons and IED-making supplies. 

Operation HAMAGHE SHAY (Same Team) was conducted under a Task Force Kandahar (TFK) winter operation, TAYRA TAYGH (Sharp Spear). This was conducted in partnership with the Afghan National Army’s 1st Brigade of the 205th (Hero) Corps to disrupt insurgent activity and increase security throughout Panjwa'i and Dand Districts. This operation helped to set the conditions for successful and sustainable governance, development and peace, led by the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.

Operation ATHENA was Canada's participation in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. The mission of Task Force Kandahar, the Canadian-led brigade in ISAF Regional Command (South), was to set the right conditions for sustainable progress in security, governance, development and peace in the districts of Panjwa'i, Dand and Daman in Kandahar Province, in conjunction with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the Afghan national security forces, and other coalition and civilian partners.
