Australian Convoy Support Ops in Afghanistan...
The 3RAR Task Group Mobility Support escorts a convoy in Uruzgan
Province, Afghanistan. Coalition road moves in Uruzgan province have an
armoured escort to move assets whether in support of mentoring missions
or movement of materiel for Operation SLIPPER. The 3RAR Task Group
Mobility Support are frequently called upon to assist safe movement in
the province. Convoys are often combined during tasks such as escorting
US logistics assets to and from patrol bases. Afghan National Army
presence on convoys also has brought the relationship with the community
closer, allowing greater interaction with the greater local population
and better ground knowledge.
