Special Forces weapons operating in the Middle East
In line with the Government's decision to increase troop commitment in Afghanistan, approximately 300 personnel have deployed as part of a Special Operations Task Group (SOTG) into Uruzgan Province in southern Afghanistan.
The SOTG consist of Commando's, members of the Special Air Service Regiment and enabling and support personnel.
The SOTG operates in support of ISAF security operations and will enhance provincial security by working to disrupt Taliban extremists command and control routes of supply in remote areas.
These disruption activities will directly support the Reconstruction Task Force's (RTF) reconstruction efforts, support the development of Afghan National Security Forces and reinforce the legitimacy of the Afghan Government.
The SOTG's unique skills will be utilised in the remote regions of the province, thereby directly influencing the security situation in more populated areas.
