 From Soldiers Radio and Television, this is the Army Now. On a small base in Zabel Province, Afghanistan, U.S. Army Pathfinders instruct Afghan National Army soldiers in the techniques of their trade. Pathfinders are the boots on the ground that allow aircraft to move supplies and provide combat support. We selected a number of skills that we wanted to test that are usually the most vital in what we do and that included sling load training, that included setting up HLZs, calling in 9-line medivacs, hand and arm signals, air traffic control, a variety of other type of operation commissions that my unit is called upon to do in a moment's notice. In the rugged Afghan terrain, Pathfinders are essential to the supply chain. With coalition forces looking to hand over responsibilities to their Afghan counterparts, training like this is a big step in that direction. That's the Army Now.
