 Afghan National Army soldiers distributed food to villages around Camp Levinac, Helmand Province, August 27th. Conducted with Marines with 1st Battalion, 23rd Marines, the mission gave ANA soldiers a chance to gain support and interact with locals. The ANA delivered basic Afghan staples, such as rice, flour, vegetable oil, and tea. The mission coincided with the celebration of Eid, the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Food operations in the border local national center need to eat. They've gone through a month of fasting, it's been hard on them. The food distribution mission is part of the ANA process of taking full responsibility for security in Helmand Province. For Regional Command Southwest, I'm Petty Officer Matt Snodgrass.
