A UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter lands to medically evacuate an Afghan National Army commando injured by insurgent small arms fire in Kunar province, Afghanistan, March 7. A force of more than 100 commandos, advised by coalition special operations forces, searched an Afghan village for weapons caches and known anti-Afghanistan forces. Commando-led missions provide national security by encouraging local villagers to look to government forces for support rather than insurgents.
