We left Sheberghan, Afghanistan on 13th February for supporting Afghan-led operation, the operation was to open the way down to Darzab to Kuna lift them out of the ANA parts that were there and replace them with new, healthy men.
All in all, we were about 400 men with vehicles set off, taking the lead, it was an Afghan engineer company that worked with the search path and find the bombs in the road.
Day one found them one of them blew up on the spot. vägsök of this size is incredibly slow. we got about 2 mil first day thereafter, we entered into night location.

Night of day 2 was firing them our night location for about 45minuter, no Swedish vehicles damaged but there were no hits in a Norwegian car that was involved. It was also called into CAS as ordonanser let go of the enemy's battle electromagnetic emissions. after it stopped bullets against our position.
Day 3 was relatively quiet, no IED finds and no attacks except a small fire in the morning when we left the night location.
Day four found them most ied'er and it was easier contrary, ANA fired on enemy positions with mortars. And at night fired on them, our night location again. Swedish units called in air and let go 3ton orderlies of their group.
Day 5 was the easier battles again and we arrived at the Afghan FOB'en in Qush Teppah. FOB'en them fired on at night but ANA returned fire and the battle subsided quickly.
Day 6, we are left on foben due to bad weather, my group decides to start digging a magnificent ståvärn.
Dag7 lunch, we began inching from qush Tepe down to darzab, dark time to arrive before we arrived and the battle becomes a fact, it flies tracer projectiles over the heads of most places ANA and we are returning fire against targets that are visible .. we call the CAS and it does show of force. will finally presented to the CFB in darzab.
Day 8 we have a day of recovery on the CFB. laws hot food for the first time in the raw materials we have purchased from the local market. The other days we were living on dried food.
Day 9, we picked out a group of hellikopter of them were home on leave, and it came down to a group to fill their site from our sister company in sar e pole.
Day 10, we start back rattle to FOBen in Qush Teppah, we get into combat in a village called gardan same village that we were shot from a few nights earlier when we went to darzab. A vehicle stuck in a wadi and a break when we try to salvage it, we shoot GRG once again against the enemy in order to neutralize them and give us breathing space. the bullets whistling over his head once more, and most vehicles get more hits, no Swedes injured. them shell us from three different directions at once, get to the end the vehicles from wadin and front advancing towards FOBen in Qush Teppah. We call upon the air once more and let them ordonanser the insurgents. finally arrived at FOBen we get us a night of good sleep spent in Keron tent with propane torch to drive out moisture and cold.
Day 11. We begin the advances towards Sheberghan, Afghanistan from FOBen in Qush Teppah, before we reach the village pestha Mazar, we have a threat warning from the Afghan head. High risk of ambushes with rpg in the village. Our group frodon rolls in the last cookie that arrives in the village we are a group of eight vehicles, when they are 100 meters left of the village of insurgents opened fire with several RPG and PKM machine guns at us from inside the village, an rpg bouncing in a car and detornerar just meters next to the vehicle. our group's second car being shot with rpg but it misses and goes over and over our vehicle and detonate in the end 10meter diagonally left in front of our car. cars at the rear of the colon takes several hits in the cars of small arms fire. It takes time for us to get out of kill zone and move us to the outside of the city. but once out, we turn up to the village again and is part of a defensive position, we observe the city with binoculars to help identify where the opponent is. the bullets still fly past our heads and all the towers archers at lower positions while it slowly scans the area with binoculars. we get shot at again with rpg which fortunately is not near any Swedish unit, we are returning fire and fighting 5-8pcs insurgents who fired at us from the village. We drag our battle positions and begin our vehicles cruising home to Sheberghan, Afghanistan. Reaches the end of Sheba at 9tiden in the evening.
It is difficult to describe the feeling and ans try to recount what we've been through during those days. But I hope I managed to convey a ilten picture of what they are, the Swedish soldier exposed to and experience during their 6månader down in afghansitan.
