In response to a series of rocket attacks this morning on the US Forward Operating Base (FOB) Wilson in south-west Kandahar province, soldiers of Alfa Battery of the 32nd SCR, attached to the 101st Airborne Division -- nicknamed the Roughnecks -- laid down a barrage of counter battery fire. This fire, which continued for most of the afternoon, was aimed at suppressing further Taliban rocket attacks.
Artillery units like Alfa battery play an important role in supporting frontline troops who are currently engaged in an offensive in the Talban heartland of Kandahar.
