USASOC PAO: Today the 75th Ranger Regiment began a series of delicate missions somewhere in eastern Afghanistan at the direction of USASOC and the CJTF. The details are classified, but the missions are aimed at improving relationships with local tribal leadership and stemming the flow of money and opium that funds the Taliban. The Rangers will be operating in some cases in conjunction with Soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division.
Camp Gentry was locked down, and no vehicle traffic could be seen entering or leaving the main gate, though the helicopter traffic around the base has been very high. More details as we receive them. |
