Urban Dasht
A Combat Logistic Patrol establishes a desert laager for the night, following protracted CLP operations into the Green Zone, Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan.
Each CLP travelled in single file during the day, but in the evening would form up in three columns and halt. The personnel immediately carry out clearance drills, searching for IEDs by sweeping the ground around their vehicles with Vallon detectors.
A Support Vehicle (Recovery) of the REME with its crane is working to repair a vehicle.
The leading vehicles in the column at the right of our view are Royal Engineer assets comprising the Talisman system. A Mastiff command-post with mast-mounted electro-optic sensors has a Remote Weapon System. Behind it is a JCB High Mobility Engineer Excavator; behind it are more RE vehicles including a Buffalo.
The leading Mastiffs are also fitted with the SPARK - Self Protection Adaptive Roller Kit for protection against mines and pressure-initiated IEDs.
There are some areas of urban desert; that is, in close vicinity of the population but still very much in a desert landscape.
Dasht means "plain or desert"
