US Air Force logisticians have been instructing Afghan National Army personnel in the fine art of supply management, graduating the first 10 personnel last week. According to the Bagram Bullet, the airmen have broken new ground with this first-of-its-kind course in Afghanistan. One goal for Det. 2 of the 755th Expeditionary Mission Support Group in Kabul, Afghanistan, was to prepare the ANA personnel to teach other Afghan troops how to maintain a central supply depot.
The U.S. military is maintaining a beefed-up presence in the Middle East, including fighters and air defense assets, following the U.S. strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities June 22 and subsequent retaliation by the Iranians against Al Udeid Air Base in Qatar.
