Embedded Training Teams (ETT) – Herat, 2004
Mar 24 at 8:08pm by David Tate
Take a trip around Afghanistan as members of the US National Guard work to raise a new army in Afghanistan. This 6:00 story starts in the western Afghan city of Herat, where Embedded Trainers effectively help the Afghan National Army quell large scale rioting in the weeks after Ismail Kahn is removed from power. From there we head back to Kabul and KMTC (Kabul Military Training Center), where new Afghan recruits get up to speed in warfare. Eight weeks of boot camp, then to the front you go.
Units covered: 76th Indiana Infantry Regiment, members of the Oregon National Guard, Afghan National Army, Herat detatchment.
