I found some pictures of Provincial Reconstruction Team Farah, Afghanistan and The Marine Special Forces compound right next door. Pictures were taken in early 2009. I was the Commander's Emergency Response Program project officer at that base.

Some of you have seen some of these pictures before but we did not get a good look at the MARSOF until today.

Admiral Mullen came to visit us and he helped get our connex box that was stuck for a month in Pakistan. After we spoke to him, the remainder of our equipment showed up 3 days later.

We had marine special forces, in lllinois National Guard Infantry, A combined United States navy and Active army leadership and our civil affair section Made up of the 426 Civil Affairs Battalion and other elements.
