Afstan: Poles taking over in Ghazni province
Good news, as had been expected; still wondering where the French will go in the east (via Spotlight on Military News and International Affairs):
Polish troops in Afghanistan will soon take over responsibility for security in a central province of the country from U.S. forces, the Polish defense ministry said on Friday.Will our media notice?
Poland has about 1,200 troops in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) fighting the Taliban and backing the Kabul government and plans to boost this figure by a further 400 soldiers.
"We are moving to take over Ghazni province... The next contingent heading to Afghanistan in late October to early November will be deployed there," ministry spokesman Robert Rochowicz said.
"We will have full responsibility for the province but we will be able to seek American help if needed."..
