Members of the Agricultural Development Team quick

Members of the Agricultural Development Team quick response force drive through Qalat, Afghanistan, Jan. 20, 2013. For three days, the Mississippi Army National Guard ADT conducted veterinary training at the Qalat Nursery, an extension facility maintained by the Afghan Government Directorate of Irrigation, Agriculture and Livestock. While the training was conducted, the QRF made periodic patrols past the nursery as a means of increasing area security. Since arriving in Afghanistan in September 2012, the Mississippi ADT has worked with DAIL to provide quality training to extension agents as well as local farmers and herdsmen, supporting the advancement of improved agricultural practices in Zabul province.
