LAGHMAN PROVINCE, Afghanistan - U.S. Army soldiers from 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (AASLT) assigned to Train Advise Assist Command-East and Afghan National Army troops from 201st Corps conducted a partnered force protection patrol Sept. 23, 2015.

Keeping troops safe in TAAC-E is an effort that TAAC-E and Afghan security forces leaders work together on.

As one form of force protection, TAAC-E soldiers conduct partnered force protection patrols with 201st Corps troops. The partnership and trust built between TAAC-E and Afghan troops allow the forces to work together in the interest of local safety and security.
