TJAG & Air Force legal staff in Kabul

U.S. Air Force TJAG, Lt General Richard Harding, made his Art. 6 visit to Afghanistan on 6-7 Sep 10. He, along with the Navy TJAG and Army Deputy TJAG, visited bases in Afghanistan to check on the status of legal offices and legal services in Area of Responsibility (AOR).

We briefed him on all the good things we are doing and the progress we are making in improving the lot of the Afghan people and their government. From the shambles of thirty years of civil war, Russian invasion, and the Taliban, coalition forces are creating the rudimentary offices and processes for a functioning government.

We had a traditional Afghan meal over at ISAF the night before the entourage left country. The beef curry dish was really tasty. The nan bread was delicous too, along with the chicken kebabs. I met three attorneys from the South Dakota National Guard, Task Force Rushmore, at the dinner. It was great to commiserate with fellow South Dakotans.
