Kuchi tribesman and Afghan veterinary workers herd

Kuchi tribesman and Afghan veterinary workers herd sheep toward the chutes where the animals were de-wormed and vaccinated as part of a Veterinary Outreach Sustainment Program for the nomadic Kuchi tribesman camped in the Noor Gal District of Afghanistan's Kunar province Jan. 8. The VOSPs are underwritten by the Iowa National Guard's 734th Agribusiness Development Team and implemented by the Kunar provincial veterinarian. During the first two VOSPs for the Kuchis, Ghalib's team treated 3,550 animals, mostly sheep.
