Operation Moshtarak is an Afghan-led initiative to assert government authority in the centre of Helmand province. Afghan and ISAF partners are engaging in this counter- insurgency operation at the request of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the Helmand provincial government.

15,000 troops are set to launch major assaults on Taliban strongholds in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

At Camp Bastion soldiers from 1 Royal Welsh are working alongside French, Estonian and Afghan National Army soldiers to practice drills together and conduct battle preparation.

Other troops are carrying out operations which have been going on for a number of weeks in Nad Ali district to prepare for Operation Moshtarak.

Alongside the British troops are soldiers from Afghanistan, Australia, Canada, the United States, France and Estonia. The operation has been planned to remove insurgents from areas of central Helmand not previously cleared by ISAF troops.

NATO commanders intend to turn the tide this year on the insurgency.

Lieutenant General Nick Parker, the British ISAF Deputy Commander in Afghanistan, said that Op Moshtarak was the first part of a three-stage plan to increase security in the country.

He said that after the insurgency in the south had been subdued British forces would move to building capacity in the Afghan National Security Forces and that this would likely become the main effort later in the year.

The third stage will be transition and the reintegration of insurgents and sympathisers into Afghan society through an Afghan-led reintegration policy.

Santander Espana, April 20, 2010. Britain has dispatched Royal Navy ships to help bring home its nationals stranded by the closure of European airspace due to volcanic ash. The warships came to take back to England nearly 800 British soldiers and civilians stranded by the volcanic ash cloud. Airspace across much of Europe has been closed since April 15, 2010 due to an ash cloud from the eruption of Iceland's Eyjafjoell volcano in the biggest flight disruption since the September 11, 2001 attacks on the United States.

Every day, across Helmand, soldiers are out on patrol - the staple of the British soldier's routine.
These demanding and physically exhausting tasks are a visible sign of ISAF's presence and commitment to deliver security to even the most remote communities.
Left Flank, 1 Scots Guards, controls the area West of Lashkar Gah. A group of soldiers from the Company's Fire Support Group is conducting a Link-Up with soldiers patrolling from another check point. This relatively short and simple task, nonetheless, requires careful planning and execution.
