Protestors in Greece attacked police in the latest round of violent protests against austerity measures passed in the wake of a financial crisis.

After five months of working with the 3rd Kandak, 3rd Brigade, 215th Afghan National Army Corps, coalition soldiers can see progress in the military skills of their Afghan counterparts in Helmand province.

The coalition soldiers, who are part of an advisory group have spent their deployment teamed exclusively with 3rd Kandak, the Afghan National Army equivalent of a company, and have worked with its approximately 400 Afghan soldiers during three full-scale operations.

CAMP DWYER, Afghanistan — The soldiers inched forward in carefully spaced columns, tracing crescents over the harrowed terrain with combat metal detectors.
