Afghan Army Gains Mobility T he U.S. transferred 213 Humvees and more than 12,000 light weapons to the Afghan National Army (ANA) Feb. 2 during a ceremony at a depot in Polecharkhi, Afghanistan. The event marked the initial transfer of more than 800 up-armored vehicles to the ANA. Afghan Defense Minister Maj. Gen. Abdul Rahim Wardak said the vehicles and weapons will help the ANA gain the capability to conduct independent operations. “This dramatically increases ANA mobility, assault, and survivability,” Wardak said. “By Allah’s aid and the backing of the Afghan people, these vehicles and weapons will help us defend the country and challenge all threats in the most hazardous area of the Asian continent.” Afghan President Hamid Karzai praised his nation’s army and expressed gratitude to the U.S. “Today we are very happy and proud of our national army. We appreciate its minister, chief of general staff, officers, and mostly its noncommissioned officers and soldiers. This country will forever be in their debt,” Karzai said. “Let’s take care of these vehicles and weapons bought with millions of U.S. taxpayer dollars.” This is a great way to introduce new officers to MOAA. Their membership will provide them with benefits, including regular delivery of Military Officer and Today’s Officer magazines and members-only discounts on products and services. With one financial transaction, you can pay for a lifetime of valuable benefits. Call (800) 234MOAA (6622) Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Eastern time and mention this great gift offer.
