Return To Afghanistan: Ross On Patrol

Ross investigates how things have changed since he was last in the province and how the British forces are combating the changing tactics of the Taliban.

“We were in a different area this year; we went to Musa Qaleh which was in the hands of the Taliban last time we were there. We went out into the Green Zone which was very dangerous, the corn was very high and you couldn't see the enemy so the contacts were very close”, Ross. So close at times bayonets were fixed.

Ross adds; “Progress in Helmand rests and falls on what happens in Musa Qaleh. The Taliban surround it on all sides”.
