Kapisa Gets New Outpost...

The torment of precautions often exceeds the dangers to be avoided. It is sometimes better to abandon one's self to destiny.

So....Kapisa has or will have a new outpost. Cool! Go here to read the official news.

KAPISA PROVINCE, Afghanistan – French Army infantry soldiers from Task Force La Fayette provide security while engineers from the task force build a new combat outpost in the Tagab valley in Afghanistan’s Kapisa province, Afghanistan, March 4. The new COP will allow for Afghan National Security Force to have a constant presence in the valley and neighboring villages. (Photo by French Army Master Sgt.

And they're looking for a spot for a bridge!

KAPISA PROVINCE, Afghanistan – French forces scout out a site for a new bridge in the Tagab valley in Afghanistan’s Kapisa province, respond to the needs of the residents in the area, March 6, as part of Operation Kapisa Synapse. The objective of the operation was to build a new combat outpost in the heart of the Tagab valley to ensure that Afghan National security Forces maintain a constant presence in the valley and neighboring villages.

Did you notice that the bridge is being looked at for the needs of the residents? Not what the NATO forces think they need or want. Always a good thing!

And the outpost is being built for the AFGHAN National security forces? Not an outpost that ISAF or NATO troops will occupy for any length of time. I'm sure that there will be some of 'Our Guys' who will be there to make sure the ANSF, ANP and ANA understand fully how to utilize this new outpost. HOOBUS!! (oh, that means good)

Slowly, very slowly, progress is being made for and by the Afghan people. Tickles me pink, it does. Now... to get rid of those pesky bad guys so the people of Afghanistan can actually live!



And so it goes......
