During an unplanned visit to the Farah province governor's compound, U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jeromy Shoell, a civil affairs team member of the Farah Provincial Reconstruction Team, speaks to a group of refugee women waiting inside the compound to receive items from the governor's weekly humanitarian aid program, Dec. 9. "Most of them live in tents and mud huts," said Shoell. "They don't have any land to build on." Information like this is called atmospherics and allows the PRT to understand the conditions within the Farah communities to better advise the governor and American aid societies.
