Apr 09, 2008 - Camp Morehead, Afghanistan - Afghan Commandos go through convoy training under the supervision of U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers. Created two years ago by the US Special Forces, the commandos have risen from the Afghan National Army's elite anti-terrorism force to mythical heroes admired by villagers and feared by the Taliban. The Commandos are a positive step in a war that has slowly spiraled into chaos. These units, spread throughout the country, are taking the fight to the Taliban with a true Afghan face for the first time. Nicknamed the "Wolves" because of their relentless pursuit of Taliban fighters, it isn't uncommon to see the commandos taunt enemy fighters in the mountains over hand held radios begging them to come down and fight. Trained in a former Soviet and Taliban military base northwest of Kabul, the commandos are handpicked from Afghan Army recruits and sent to Camp Morehead for twelve weeks of training. Modeled after US Army Rangers, the commandos use American weapons, wear old American uniforms and drive around in tan Ford Ranger 4X4s. (Credit Image: © Andrew Craft/ZUMA Press)
