Since the 14th of February, 2010 the unit of the RA AF peacekeeping
brigade conducts security support issues in the region of Kunduz in
Afghanistan. The main task of the Armenian unit is to ensure security
of the airfield of Kunduz. The daily service includes patrolling in
the airfield and the area around it, guarding the posts, as well as
uncovering possible threats.

The Armenians serve under the German command in the ISAF RC North
PRT in the region of Kunduz, Afghanistan. In the past three weeks
the group has received the high evaluation of the German command for
showing high effectiveness in the extra safety means undertaken in
the area of the airfield with their own initiative.
