After securing the area, Afghan forces used a loudspeaker to call for all occupants to exit the compounds peacefully. During questioning, the facilitator identified himself as the targeted individual in the operation before the security force detained him.    The security force conducted a battle-space handover with the local Afghan National Police force before departing the area. The assault force did not fire their weapons and they protected the women and children throughout the search.
