Sgt Alie was part of the OMLT

Sgt Alie had taken part of the Operational Mentor & Liaison Team (OMLT) from Feb. 2006 and returned to Canada in September 2006. The Strategic Main Effort of the ISAF mission is to assist in rebuilding the Afghan National Army, in order for the Afghan government to assume an increasing portion of the national security burden. In order to accomplish this, the OMLT works to train, teach, and coach Afghan officers and soldiers, in cooperation with the Afghan National Army and other ISAF partners.

Below is a series of photos that Sgt Alie collected during his tour. In order to protect those who must remain behind some of the Afghan faces have been pixilated.
