Canadian Forces Medical Technician, Sergeant Mike Escott, Operational Mentoring Liaisom Team (OMLT), checks the pulse of an Afghan national army soldier in a bunker at Canadian Forward Operating Base Ma'sum Ghar, Afghanistan. Watching is Afghan national army doctor Captain Rahollah. The patrol is being supervised by Canada's Operational Mentoring Liaison Team (OMLT), a group of military advisors coaching the Afghan soldiers in operations, tactics and training. About 2,500 members of the Canadian forces (CF) are currently serving as part of Joint Task Force Afghanistan. Most of the soldiers are stationed at Kandahar Airfield and at Camp Nathan Smith, Canada's provincial reconstruction team (PRT) in Kandahar City. Other personnel are assigned to various military headquarters, a support base, and civilian organizations.
