U.S. Soldiers Continue Advisory Role As Election Nears In Afghanistan

Ammunition cans are crushed in a retrograde yard before being sold for scrap at FOB Lightning on March 22, 2014 near Gardez, Afghanistan. In the past year the U.S. Military has been reducing troops and equipment in Afghanistan as it transitions from a role of combatants, fighting alongside Afghan soldiers, to assisting the Afghan National Security Forces in an advisory role. President Obama recently ordered the Pentagon to develop a contingency plan for a complete pullout from Afghanistan by the end of 2014 if Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai or his successor refuses to sign the Bilateral Security Agreement.
