By Air Force Capt. Kevin G. Tuttle Qalat Provincial Reconstruction Team
QALAT, Afghanistan – For some Airmen at the Qalat Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT), training in a hostile environment is crucial to successfully conduct operations.
Provincial Reconstruction Teams contribute to the reconstruction of Afghanistan by promoting good governance and justice, and facilitating reconstruction, development and economic growth. Reconstruction projects include building roads, schools and clinics.
Training for deployment for these Airmen was mandatory, but continuing to sharpen their skills in country is an even greater task considering that they must be ready to react if or when they come in contact with the enemy.
The Air Force provides specific training to all of its Airmen for deployments, but learning the intricacies of working at a PRT can only be mastered with continued practice.
