Afghan National Police patrolman Bismullah Jan looks back while patrolling to a vehicle checkpoint with U.S. Marines from 2nd Platoon, Kilo Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marine Regiment, near Patrol Base Amir Agha, here, Jan. 12. The developing ANP force has become an essential component of a secure future for Garmsir. As Afghan forces near the assumption of lead security responsibility in the district, the ANP are progressing under the mentorship of Marines with Kilo Co., 3/3. “The police of Garmsir are ready to maintain the security of our own district,” said ANP Lt. Mohammad Dawood, the district’s 2nd Precinct commander. “We’re from this area and we’re proud to serve our people … they trust us. Our country has a strong future because we have our own forces and we’re staying with our people.”
