Operation: Silent Harvest. 19-20 May 07Date – 19th – 20th May 2007Theatre: Afghanistan – Paktia
Operation: Silent harvestAfter the successful capture of Bin-Laden during Operation: Intrinsic Sord in Feb 08, and with 42 Commando establishing a Forward Operating base defending the vital supply routes and protecting villages throughout the Puktis valley region. British high command have decided a change of direction is needed to solve this problem area.
After 6 months of heavy fighting in the Puktis valley region the 42 commando are being replaced by 2 Para, UKSF are still operational in the area hunting out the Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters and destroying their hideouts.
With the opium trade increasing, it is believed that the Taliban are using this money to help fund their fight in the region.
UKSF Mobility Troop have been operating in North Eastern Afghanistan for the last Eighteen months monitoring Taliban/Al-Qaeda operations in the Paktia mountain ranges.
The deployment of 2 Para is to bring the Opium trade to a halt. 2 Para have also been tasked to protect the bridge junction on the Main Supply Route, and to maintain control of the Patrol base and refueling station at Junction 147 on the Kandahar Highway. They will also provide logistics and support to the Special forces. Whilst protecting local villages and infrastructure.
Latest Intel would suggest that the Taliban are infiltrating the local Villages and taking the village men to fight against their will. The Opium routes are coming through the British lines with the production levels getting higher using the heavy fighting as cover.
