members of the Counternarcotics Police

00:08.707 --> 00:10.762
of Afghanistan National Interdiction

00:10.762 --> 00:12.651
Unit rehearse an upcoming raid in

00:12.651 --> 00:14.873
Helmand province with marines of second

00:14.873 --> 00:17.096

00:17.096 --> 00:17.000
guy you are special operations unit

00:17.000 --> 00:18.889
tasked with putting a stop to the

00:18.889 --> 00:21.000
smuggling of illegal drugs that helps

00:21.000 --> 00:23.056
fund the insurgency in Afghanistan .

00:23.056 --> 00:25.167
I've heard that they're having a huge

00:25.167 --> 00:27.278
impact on the insurgencies ability to

00:27.278 --> 00:29.500
move drugs and weapons back and forth .

00:29.500 --> 00:31.611
Each member of the team is briefed on

00:31.611 --> 00:33.667
the operation before performing walk

00:33.667 --> 00:33.470
throughs to get a feel for their

00:33.470 --> 00:35.470
individual roles in the mission . I

00:35.470 --> 00:37.748
think when you partner with , you know ,

00:37.748 --> 00:39.803
another force who doesn't speak your

00:39.803 --> 00:41.970
language , it kind of there's a lot of

00:41.970 --> 00:44.081
friction involved . They're not gonna

00:44.081 --> 00:46.303
know specifically what you want them to

00:46.303 --> 00:48.414
do . So uh in order to alleviate some

00:48.414 --> 00:50.581
of the confusion , we go through these

00:50.581 --> 00:52.803
drills , we rehearse it with them . The

00:52.803 --> 00:55.026
combined efforts of the N . Y . U . And

00:55.026 --> 00:54.480
marines in Helmand Province resulted in

00:54.480 --> 00:56.647
several arrests and the destruction of
