Panjwa’i District, Afghanistan

A Combat Logistics Patrol consisting mainly of Armoured Heavy Equipment Support Vehicle Systems (A-HESVS) make their way over some of Afghanistan’s notoriously rough roads.

Combat Logistics Patrols (CLPs) conducted by Task Force Kandahar’s National Support Element (NSE) provide logistical support, including equipment, supplies, and repairs, to all tactical positions in Southern Afghanistan from Kandahar Airfield.

Operation ATHENA is Canada’s participation in the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan. The mission of Task Force Kandahar, the Canadian-led brigade in ISAF Regional Command (South), is to set the right conditions for sustainable progress in security, governance, development and peace in the districts of Panjwa’i, Dand and Daman in Kandahar Province, in conjunction with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan, the Afghan national security forces, and other coalition and civilian partners.
