Walter Givhan : reports on Afghan army corps
Now set with Russian-made assail helicopters — a remnant of their war-tattered history — the Afghan Army Air Corps will soon start using the force in their missions, was said by the U.S. Air Force Brig. Gen. Walter Givhan on Wednesday as he was reporting at the Pentagon during a half hour video conference from Kabul.
He further says, “This has been part of a very deliberate training regimen that we have created for them,” he adds, “We’ve taken them through an entire syllabus to include training on rules of engagement, and when they can shoot and when they can’t shoot, to get them ready for this.”
The Afghan pilots will have to abide by the rules introduced earlier which restrict U.S. troops from launching any air attack inorder to minimize civilians casualties … presently there are 2700 airman in Afghan Corps which according to Givhan will grow to 7,250 by 2016.
Officials call it a noticeable step for a unit which grew from naught a few years back…
Givhan added: “The roles that they initially take on will not be full-fledged close air support-type roles, but will be a little bit simpler. That will take an account of missions like fighter escorts and shooting in self-protection as the Afghan pilots maintain to train for full attack operations missions.
