The Polish Commandos were supported by members of the “Afghan Tigers” antiterrorism unit of the Afghan Police. This unit has been trained by TF-50 to take part in operations just like this. All boots on the ground unanimously agree that the unit has proven to be a valuable asset and a trusted local ally. Afghan Tigers are set to take over from TF-50 when the Polish Military Contingent withdraws from Afghanistan.
In the meantime, the Afghan National Directorate of Security (NDS) supported by JW GROM detained insurgents responsible for several IED (Improvised Explosive Device) attacks on ISAF and Afghan forces.
