EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intensity and precision of a mission over Helmand, Afghanistan. In the foreground, Royal Air Force Chinook Mk2 helicopters from 1310 Flight can be seen taking off from Camp Bastion airfield, their powerful rotors propelling them into the sky. The sheer size and strength of these aircraft is evident as they prepare to embark on their crucial task. Meanwhile, in the background, a US Air Force Blackhawk helicopter patiently waits its turn to land. This image showcases the collaborative efforts between different nations working together towards a common goal in this challenging operational theater. The Joint Helicopter Force (AFGHANISTAN), also known as JHF (A), plays a vital role in providing tactical mobility, reconnaissance, and Aviation Fires support to both UK task forces and the multinational force of Regional Command (South). Their presence ensures that troops on the ground have swift access to critical resources and assistance when needed most. As we admire this remarkable photograph by POA (Phot) Mez Merrill from Armed Forces, it serves as a reminder of the bravery and dedication exhibited by all those involved in Operation Herrick. From pilots to ground crews, each individual contributes to maintaining stability and security in Helmand Province during this campaign.
