Almost 1200 Polish soldiers along with 250 soldiers from Illinois National Guard participate in exercise on Wedrzyn military training ground. Polish soldiers (from 17th Mechanized Brigade and 6th Air-Assault Brigade) prepare for the second shift of Polish Military Contingent in Afghanistan.
A convoy crosses the region where Taliban have big influence. The supplies are being ferried by Afghans who risk their lives for this kind of job. The vehicles are being escorted by Polish and American units. A special sapper unit moves in front of the convoy, de-mining the track. Most of the bridges on this track have been blown up. The most difficult part of the road is near the Khoshamand base - following a dry lake bed. Here the vehicles move atop of a several-meters-deep layer of dust.
A local driver has been shelled at during the previous convoy. A bullet missed his head by several centimeters
