The Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) section of the New Zealand Provincial Reconstruction Team (NZPRT) in Afghanistan recently destroyed a large cache of ammunition accumulated from throughout Bamyan Province by the Kiwi patrols.
The cache was the largest destroyed to date by the 6th Contingent (Crib 6) of the NZPRT since it arrived in mid- July. Under the direction of the EOD Section commander, Staff Sergeant Mike Skiffington, the ammunition was destroyed in a single blast in the uninhabited Jare Surkhakzau Valley, north-west of the Kiwi base near Bamian City.
Gone: The latest cache of ammunition is destroyed.
