Soldier Making Repairs to a Vehicle in Afghanistan

A soldier with 13 Close Support Logistic Regiment, Royal Logistic Corps, makes repairs to a vehicle in Helmand, Afghanistan during a Combat Logistics Patrol.

Combat Logistic Patrols are always amongst the most complex ground manoeuvres conducted and this was no exception. The six-day operation in October 2010 involved 76 British vehicles and 22 Afghan vehicles, with 222 soldiers in total. The patrol covered a distance of 2.2 miles, reaching speeds of no more than 5mph due to the terrain of the desert.
