Clark (right), an East Liverpool, Ohio native, both with the 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment Police Advisor Team, demonstrate handcuffing procedures to Afghan Local Police recruits during an ALP Academy here, Feb. 8. The 59 Afghan recruits will be trained in basic infantry tactics, police operations, human rights and the laws of land warfare while participating in this three week ALP academy. These recruits will soon be the newest members of the ALP in Nawa and, accordingly, the first line of defense against insurgent threats to security in the district.
