As Afghanistan National Army and National Police security forces are in fierce fighting with insurgents to bring peace and prosperity to the region, they need better accommodations in all security bases throughout Afghanistan.
This lack of access to better accommodations and better facilities for the bases were always huge problems for the forces in the past. And then the Train, Advise, and Assist Command (TAAC) assessment teams brought forth their efforts to provide the security forces of Afghanistan access to better quality of life on the bases.
The U. S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Afghanistan District which continues to deliver important and vital projects to Afghanistan forces has set its goal to deliver vital public and military engineering services, partnering in peace and war to strengthen our nation's security. "To energize the economy and reduce risk from disaster,' said TAAC project manager, David Hardin. "But we can't underestimate that Train, Advise, Assist Command (TAAC), which began its partnership and contributions with USACE in November 2018 and those efforts have contributed to the success of USACE construction projects in Afghanistan, "said Hardin.
TAAC assessment teams, consisting of six teams are currently assessing bases in six zones throughout the country, performing more than 200 assessments, bringing outstanding impact on the quality of life for ANA and ANP soldiers in Afghanistan.
