Afghanistan 2007
3rd Battalion in Kabul.
From February 2007, 10 Platoon of the 3rd Battalion The Royal Anglian Regiment worked with the Macedonian Force Protection Company in Kabul.
The British and Macedonians were just two of the thirty-seven nation coalition in Afghanistan.
At first 10 Platoon worked very closely with the Macedonians. They conducted joint patrols around Police District 10 in Kabul and shared responsibility for base security. Later they became more independent, conducting their own patrols. Their aim was to build up a pattern of life and vehicle movements in their area.

Their base in Kabul was small and crowded, but with many facilities. Two or three men shared a room with air conditioning, internet connection, and a bathroom down the hall. There were shops, cafes, bars and places to play basketball, volleyball and five-a-side football. These facilities were important to keep the men fit and healthly and in good spirits while they were a long way from home.
