Australian Army Special Operations Task Group soldiers land in a US Army Black Hawk helicopter at Tarin Kowt after a 'shura' (town meeting) in Shah Wali Kot in Kandahar province, Afghanistan. *** Local Caption *** Australian Army soldiers from Special Operations Task Group (SOTG) and Afghan National Security Force police officers conducted a deliberate operation to clear a Taliban insurgent stronghold in the Shah Wali Kot region of northern Kandahar province in Afghanistan. The Shah Wali Kot Offensive comprised synchronised and deliberate clearance operations involving Australian commandos combined with a number of surgical helicopter-born assaults from Special Air Service Regiment (SASR) soldiers onto key targets. Removing Taliban insurgents from Afghan communities allows the Afghan government to gain the trust of the community and provide vital infrastructure, services and security. The Shah Wali Kot Offensive was part of Australiaâs contribution to Operation Hamkari, the coalition operation to extend the Afghan governmentâs influence into Kandahar City. SOTG comprises personnel from the Special Air Service Regiment, 1st and 2nd Commando Regiments, Incident Response Regiment, Special Operations Logistics Squadron and a variety of supporting units from the ADF.
