The Department of Defense announced today the deployment of two units to Afghanistan. The 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, from Fort Campbell, Ky., and the 173rd Airborne Brigade, Vicenza, Italy, have been alerted to replace forces currently deployed in Afghanistan, in order to maintain the capabilities of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). The 3rd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division, will deploy with approximately 3,800 troops to Afghanistan in late fall 2009. The 173rd Brigade Combat Team, with approximately 3,700 troops, will deploy to Afghanistan in the winter of 2009-2010. Both units will conduct the full spectrum of combat operations.

Israel Aerospace Industries said it would supply unmanned spy planes to Germany that will see action in Afghanistan early next year. The Heron drones will be deployed by the German air force in northern Afghanistan in early 2010 for reconnaissance missions, the company said in a statement. It would not reveal how many drones were sold or for how much but informed it was a multimillion dollar deal. Germany's Federal Office of Defense Technology and Procurement confirmed it had inked an agreement to purchase the aircraft. Israeli drones have previously been supplied to coalition forces to gather intelligence data on Islamic militants in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Heron is Israel's largest surveillance drone, with a 54-foot wingspan and an ability to fly for as long as 30 hours at a time at a speed of 140 mph (225.3 kph) and a height of 30,000 feet (9,144 meters).

The buildup of airmen inside Afghanistan met another milestone with the standing up of the second wing in Afghanistan. The 451st Air Expeditionary Wing was formally established during a July 2 ceremony at Kandahar Airfield in southern Afghanistan. Commanding the new wing is Brig. Gen. Guy M. Walsh. Before taking the Kandahar assignment, Walsh served in the Maryland Air National Guard’s 175th Wing, home to C-130Js and A-10 Thunderbolts. He also served in 2005 as the director of staff for the Combined Air Operations Center at Al-Udeid Air Base in Qatar. The Air Force has been at Kandahar since 2001, but troops there answered to a wing headquartered several hundred miles away at Bagram Airfield. The mission at Kandahar has steadily grown to include a C-130J squadron, aerial port operations, combat search and rescue sorties and MQ-1 Predator flights.

The new Secretary General of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Anders Fogh Rasmussen on Wednesday ruled out the military alone as solution to Afghan imbroglio. "We have to realize that there is no military solution solely to the situation in Afghanistan and we need a broader perspective and comprehensive approach," NATO's top man told a joint press conference with President Hamid Karzai here. He further stressed that military efforts, hand in hand with a strong commitment from the international community to reconstruction in Afghanistan, is crucial for having solution. Meanwhile, NATO's chief said that peace talks would be held with "those who lay down their arms." He also ststed that more than 40 countries are present in Afghanistan and "I can assure you to remain in Afghanistan as long as needed." This is the first visit of Rasmussen to Afghanistan as NATO chief since assuming office on Aug. 1. The former Danish Prime Minister over the rebuilding of Afghan national security forces said that the alliance would continue to train Afghan army and Afghan police until they take charge of the security of their country from the international troops.
