An Afghan National Army soldier with 4th Kandak, 1st Brigade, 215th Corps, looks through the sights of a 122 mm howitzer D-30 artillery cannon. The Afghan soldiers worked diligently to improve their skills with their artillery cannons. “Artillery allows the ANA to provide that long-range fire when one of their friendly units comes under attack,” said Fairborn, Ohio, native Capt. Mitchell Moore, the commanding officer for Charlie Battery, 1st Battalion, 12th Marine Regiment. “When the Unites States reduces (its) presence here, (the ANA) need to have that capability so when they operate outside the wire, they have that comfort umbrella of knowing wherever they are they have an ANA brother who can provide fire support.”
