Hello

00:09.860 --> 00:12.450
and welcome to around the Air Force in

00:12.450 --> 00:14.530
Afghanistan . Airman assigned to a

00:14.530 --> 00:17.080
police technical advisory team go out

00:17.080 --> 00:19.390
into the Afghan community every day .

00:19.500 --> 00:21.722
Senior Mcdaniel Delgado reports . Their

00:21.722 --> 00:25.130
mission is to assist local police at

00:25.130 --> 00:27.241
bagram Airbase . The Pizza is working

00:27.241 --> 00:29.260
hard to equip the Afghan National

00:29.260 --> 00:32.040
Police for A . N . P . With the skills

00:32.040 --> 00:34.460
needed to establish long term stability .

00:34.470 --> 00:36.860
I am from the police technical advisory

00:36.860 --> 00:39.150
team . We are police mentors for the

00:39.150 --> 00:41.660
Afghan National Police . Our role is to

00:41.740 --> 00:43.796
Train and Mentor The Afghan National

00:43.796 --> 00:46.360
Police into a more cohesive unit .

00:46.530 --> 00:49.520
Pizza has trained over 1700 Afghan

00:49.520 --> 00:51.960
police in handcuffing vehicle searching

00:51.970 --> 00:54.026
and map reading just to name a few .

00:54.140 --> 00:56.580
And all this training is done off base .

00:56.590 --> 00:59.100
So the Air Force is definitely changing

00:59.100 --> 01:01.156
roles in the airport . They're doing

01:01.156 --> 01:03.730
more than just sitting on the desk ,

01:03.830 --> 01:06.052
which is what most people think we do ,

01:06.052 --> 01:08.219
but we're not , we're working out here

01:08.219 --> 01:10.600
doing what we do . Not only has this

01:10.600 --> 01:12.822
training improved the capability of the

01:12.822 --> 01:14.950
A . And P . And 17 districts , it has

01:14.950 --> 01:17.061
strengthened the relationship between

01:17.061 --> 01:19.061
the U . S . Military and the Afghan

01:19.061 --> 01:21.283
community . A favorite part of this job

01:21.283 --> 01:23.283
is the interactions with the Afghan

01:23.283 --> 01:25.339
National Police , meeting new guys ,

01:25.339 --> 01:25.190
meeting new people and seeing the

01:25.200 --> 01:26.978
smiles on their faces when they

01:26.978 --> 01:28.978
understand a task that we've taught

01:28.978 --> 01:31.200
them and make them to do and watch them

01:31.200 --> 01:33.311
do it on their own and the excitement

01:33.311 --> 01:36.750
they get and they do the task , move

01:36.750 --> 01:39.630
their hands off the pitch . That is

01:39.630 --> 01:41.880
just one step towards creating a free

01:41.880 --> 01:43.860
Afghanistan capable of providing
