U.S. Air Force Capt. Drew Walters, a NATO Air Training Command-Afghanistan tactical coordination advisor, originally from Alamosa, Colo., mans the gun from an Afghan Air Force Mi-17 as it flies to Barge Matal in the northern Kunar Valley to conduct a combat resupply mission March 10. The AAF worked in cooperation with the Ministry of the Interior and coalition forces to complete the mission, using ten aircraft to deliver over 9,000 kilograms of weapons, ammunition and food to Afghan National Police stationed in the remote post that is seen as vital by Afghan officials due to its proximity to Pakistan and history of insurgent activity. Following the supply drop-off, forces loaded over 80 ANP bound for their respective homes following a three to six month deployment to the region.
