Taliban influence being pushed out
Under the guidance of experienced Australian soldiers from the Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force One (MRTF - 1), the influence of Taliban Insurgents is being pushed out of the Baluchi Pass and the Chora Valley in Afghanistan's Uruzgan Province.
Behind this success in areas once held by the Taliban is the new found strength of the Afghanistan National Army (ANA), underwritten by the support of Coalition forces and the guiding hands of Australian soldiers of the Operational Mentoring and Liaison Team (OMLT).
Patrol bases built over the last two years by Australian and Dutch forces in this area are now manned by the ANA with Australian forces providing support as military mentors.
