James Bates, a security force squad leader with Provincial Reconstruction Team Farah, pulls security at a landing zone as his team loads a tactical vehicle into the cargo bay of a CH-47 Chinook helicopter in Pur Chaman district, Farah province, Afghanistan on Sept. 26. The mission marks the first time coalition forces have been to the Pur Chaman district in over a year. PRT Farah is a unit of soldiers, sailors and airmen working with various government and non-government agencies tasked with facilitating governance and stability in the region by working hand in hand with local officials and the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.
