Afganistan

UK troops are in Afghanistan as part of the NATO International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), which includes military from 43 other countries. Operation MOSHTARAK is the latest major operation to clear the insurgency and improve security and stability in Helmand province.


Why are we in Afghanistan?
We are in Afghanistan because it became a source of terrorism.

The Taliban gave safe haven to Al Qaeda, which allowed terrorists to plan and carry out terrorist attacks around the world, including the atrocities of September 11. That is why the UN authorised a NATO-led military intervention.

But getting rid of the Taliban regime and Al Qaeda was only the first part of the job. The second is to make sure they cannot return. Right now, this means direct military support, protecting the Afghan people and defeating the insurgency.


In the longer term, it means an Afghan Government, including the Army and Police, capable to take on the insurgency and violent extremism themselves. When they are, our soldiers can come home.

At the same time as our troops provide security to Afghan people, we are building up and developing the Afghan Army and Police so they can provide their own security. We are supporting the Afghan Government's efforts to reach out to those who are willing to accept the democratic process and abandon violence and terrorism.

The Army is working relentlessly with the United Nations mandate to help the Afghan Government improve governance, both nationally and locally, to:

tackle corruption and the drugs trade;
build up the rule of law;
promote economic development - investing in infrastructure, agricultural alternatives to growing poppy, jobs;
improve access to education and healthcare.

Operation MOSHTARAK
(meaning 'together' in Dari) is an international civil/military operation in support of the Afghan Government to remove insurgency and improve security and stability in central Helmand.

Army Recruitment

According to some sources UK army recruitment has dropped in recent months. There are those who attribute this to the war in Iraq and the troubles that both the US and the UK have been experiencing there. This means that recruiting more soldiers is becoming a priority in the UK. The UK army recruitment website is very comprehensive with links to all the information that would be army recruit might need - this includes not only application information but plenty of information on what they might expect if they are chosen to join the army.

The army recruitment and training division is split into a number of different groups which are used to ensure that army recruits are trained to the right standard for their particular place in the British army. There are a number of different units which specialize in the aspects of particular types of army training. The infantry training and development unit for example is aimed at inculcating the skills that a recruit would need for a place in the infantry. Within the infantry training and development unit there are a number of different cells or sub-divisions. These include a job and training analysis unit which is constantly updated to ensure that army recruitment and training of infantry soldiers has the most up-to-date jobs and training for that division - these include jobs specifications and training objectives.

The UK army recruitment site also has a psychological operations group which analyses the psychological tendencies and problems of existing and would be member of the army. The UK Special Forces division recruits existing soldiers who have the right kind of qualities for the job. Recruits for the Special Forces division need to be mentally and physically robust and an excellent swimmer. These soldiers have to deal with extreme situations often in extreme weather conditions so they must be in top form.

The UK army recruitment site is also there for the recruiting of army support staff - this might include drivers, mechanics, chefs, clerks, and intelligence personnel. This unit also includes the recruitment of special operations staff. Part of the British army's move to recruit includes a special division for the welfare of soldier's families. The army mission statement says that part of the recruitment of the type of soldier the army needs means that the welfare of these soldiers, and of their families, is paramount. Thus the army undertakes not only to care for the troops' welfare and education, but also the education and welfare of their families. There is even a confidential support line for soldiers and their families who may be experiencing problems that are not actually part of the job.
