 VIDEO:
Operation Moshtarak - Part 1
Estonian, Afghan and British soldiers prepare for the start of
Operation Moshtarak in Helmand Province, Afghanistan. The three-part
series on Operation Moshtarak ("together" in Dari) gives an inside
look at one of ISAF's biggest counter-insurgency operations since
the fall of the Taliban. Video Journalist Josh Fortune revisits the
village of Nad Ali in Central Helmand where he had embedded with
Estonian forces one year ago. This area had been controlled by
Taliban militants and drug traffickers. One year later, Fortune
embeds with Afghan, British and Estonian soldiers for Operation
Moshtarak and captures the preparation, the launch and the actual
operation in progress. He witnesses noticeable improvements in the
area and sees Afghan troops taking a lead role on the ground.
