A platoon of brand new recruits, forming one of many brand new military units of the Afghan National army, waits for an evening of training to begin. These soldiers have yet to be employed operationally, and are receiving their final training from ISAF forces before conducting joint operations in Kandahar Province. These newly formed ANA units provide much needed security in the countryside, where insurgents are relatively safe from the Afghan National Police.
