Provincial Reconstruction Team Logar

PRT Logar was subordinated to ISAF Regional Command East, responsible for the eastern provinces of Afghanistan.

The members of the civilian team included construction engines, development specialists and experts in areas such as agriculture, security, media or veterinary medicine.

These specialists cooperated with the provincial government, councils of elders (suras) and other representatives of local communities to extend their capacities and, through a broad range of joint projects, to have a positive impact on the province both in mid and long-term.

In August 2011 they were relieved by 102nd Reconnaissance Battalion (8th Unit) and the number of personnel was set to 292 troops and 12 civilians.
