I think the full title is reconstruction and defensive counter insurgency, with the ANA responsible for drugs eradication. It's a new one on me too. Anyone explain the difference between counter terrorism and defensive counter insurgency? The Captain was killed in a full on firefight. I am sure the paras are up for it but I feel the Govt has been less than truthful with the real aims of this mission. I don't suppose there will be much in the way of reconstruction going on either.
