Assignment Afghanistan: The Struggle For Salavat – Part 2

This is the second part of Legion Magazine’s series on the men of 1st Platoon, Alpha Company, Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry as they go headfirst into their new mission to secure the town of Salavat, deep in the heart of Kandahar province’s infamous Panjwai district. Stationed in a small, commandeered school compound, 1st Platoon now comprises what is known as a ‘Platoon House,’ the linchpin in a new strategy emanating from Kabul to get NATO soldiers off their big bases and out into the villages.
