An Afghan National Army commando company commander takes notes during a shura in Kunar province, Afghanistan, April 28. Afghan National Police and district officials discussed the Afghan National Army commando mission in the valley and how it supports the Afghan Local Police mission. Commandos and coalition special operations forces searched the village for weapons caches and insurgent activity. Commando-led missions provide national security by encouraging local villagers to look to government forces for support rather than insurgents networks.
