E-7 Bashir Ahmad briefs Afghan national army leadership in a morning Battle Update Brief during a Command Post exercise on Camp Shaheen, Mazir-e-Sharif, Afghanistan. This is the fourth year the Afghan national army has conducted readiness exercises. This year's scenario is a massive earthquake response, where the scope has expanded to Afghan national army soldiers working with Regional Command North, Afghan national police, Afghan border patrol, and the National Defense Service to emphasize public safety in the event of a natural disaster. Operation Nijat-NA tests the Afghan Army's ability to coordinate with various agencies and employ skills in medical response, supply convoys, security measures, and combating insurgents, while also working with non-governmental agencies to restore order in the region.
