The district chief of police dispatched the QRF after two Afghan Local Police contacted the District Operation Coordination Center for assistance. The two ALP members were surrounded and receiving small arms fire from 10 insurgents when the AUP arrived on location. Five insurgents retreated from the exchange.
This marks the second instance in less than 48 hours where multiple Afghan Security Force elements, working through the District OCC, combined efforts to defeat Taliban attacks against Afghan Local Police positions, a growing positive trend within the ANSF operational framework.
