Theatre - Afghanistan
Following sustained coalition strikes, Afghan forces are moving remaining stores from Tarinkot south toward Kandahar Airbase. These convoys threaten to replenish the forces defending Kandahar and prolong their ability to contest coalition operations within the immediate region.
As a result, Command has authorized continued interdiction of these movements alongside a combined assault on Kandahar Airbase. Coalition flights will disrupt enemy resupply, engage remaining defenses, and support the assault against the airfield.
Additionally, an enemy forward operating base used to deploy and garrison ground forces may also be assigned as a strike objective.
If tasked, coalition elements will attack the facility to reduce the enemy's ability to quickly respond to our movements in the area.
The objective is to isolate Kandahar, defeat its defenders, and prevent remaining Afghan supplies and ground forces from sustaining further resistance.
