Aussies Soldiers on Patrol in Afghanistan
Elements of Combat Team Alpha were conducting presence patrolling, focussed on engaging the local populace through a 'hearts and minds' approach aimed at establishing a positive influence over the locals, thereby disrupting the insurgents ability to use the civillian populace as a support base.
This type of patrolling is critical in shaping the environment for the conduct of safe and successful national and provincial elections in August.
