US Deploys More Troops in Afghanistan

Description

Hundreds of additional US troops are slated to deploy to a volatile province in Afghanistan to bolster the local military against a resurgent Taliban. Defense officials said that the additional troops would not take part in combat. But they will help the existing Helmand force defend itself against Taliban attacks. “Our mission remains the same,” said Colonel Michael Lawhorn, a spokesman for the US command in Kabul, “to train, advise, and assist our Afghan counterparts, and not to participate in combat operations.”
