Canadian Army - Afghanistan - a photo on Flickriver

            16 November 2005
Kandahar, Afghanistan

Corporal Riley Mcgee with 1 Combat Engineer Regiment (1 CER), serving with the Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Kandahar, pauses in front of a crater of exploded bullets and brass while surveying the grounds of the old Taliban 15 Division training compound in Kandahar, Afghanistan.  

Currently under Afghan National Army control, stockpiles of old munitions stored in bunkers at the ammunition supply point, were reported destroyed at the compound. 1 CER set out to investigate the reports and to ensure that the area was safe from any unexploded ordinance. 

The Canadian PRT is conducting operations in Kandahar, Afghanistan and has brought together representatives from the Canadian Forces, Foreign Affairs Canada (FAC), the Canadian International Development Agency (CIDA) and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP). In an integrated Canadian effort, under Operation ARCHER, ROTO 0, the PRT will reinforce the authority of the Afghan government in and around Kandahar and help stabilize and rebuild the region. The PRT includes about 250 soldiers, drawn largely from Land Forces Western Area.
