Following a three-day visit to Afghanistan, General John Craddock says he continues to see progress in ISAF operations and the development of the Afghan National Army.
“The fact of the matter is that in less than 24 hours notice the Afghan National Army moved a battalion of soldiers to Kandahar, by using both their own airplanes and ISAF aircraft, from a cold start,” said the general in a news release. “There are not too many nations in the world capable of such a response.”
While in theatre General Craddock got an operations update, visited with troops at Bagram Airfield; went to the Hungarian Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) in Pol-e Khumri and capped his visit by meeting with General Abdul Rahim Wardak, Afghanistan’s Minister of Defense.
