Kandahar

Canadian Soldiers lay in the heat taking cover behind a wall as engineers destroy multiple IED's (improvised explosive devices) set by insurgents targeting them during a multiple day operation aimed at attempting to clear the village of Chalgower in Panjwaii District, Kandahar, Afghanistan. Following this operation a brutal insurgency took hold in Chalgower and in the surrounding villages resulting in injury and death to numerous civilians, insurgents and soldiers without completely expelling the insurgents influence in the area.
