Summary

Afghan National Army commandos provide security during a mission in Nuristan province, Afghanistan, April 14. Commandos and coalition special operations forces, the first to visit that area in more than two years, defeated insurgent forces overrunning a village. Commando-led missions provide national security by encouraging local villagers to look to government forces for support rather than insurgents.
