Afghanistan, Nangarhar Province, Mohmand Valley, 25 July 2018 A 500 pound bomb explodes on a ridge Combat Outpost (COP) Blackfish, in Nangarhar Province's Achin District. The strike was requested by the U.S. Army Operational Detachment Alpha's Joint Tactical Air Controller (JTAC). This evening, the JTAC had the F16 pilots drop several bombs on the ridge-line overlooking the base. The bombs were dropped for the purpose of "terrain denial", which supposedly dissuades enemy fighters from occupying high ground from which to mount attacks against the base. Privately, however, the JTAC told me that the reason for requesting many of the strikes is more prosaic. Reasons include allowing inexperienced pilots to drop bombs in "combat", to keep the JTAC's own numbers up so as to avoid the retraining that is required if he doesn't drop enough. The JTAC said he had requested about 30 air strikes (out of a total of more than 100) during troops in contact (TIC) scenarios this deployment. Afghanistan, Province de Nangarhar, Vallйe de Mohmand, 25 juillet 2018 Une bombe de 500 livres explose aux abords de l'avant-poste de combat (COP) Blackfish, dans le district d'Achin de la province de Nangarhar. La frappe a йtй demandйe par le Joint Tactical Air Controller (JTAC) du Dйtachement Opйrationnel Alpha (ODA) de l'armйe amйricaine. Ce soir, le JTAC a demandй aux pilotes de F16 de larguer plusieurs bombes sur la ligne de crкte qui surplombe la base. Les bombes ont йtй larguйes dans le cadre d'une opйration de "dйni de terrain" qui est censй dissuader les combattants ennemis d'occuper les hauteurs pour lancer des attaques contre la base. En privй, cependant, le Comitй consultatif m'a dit que la raison pour laquelle on demande un grand nombre de tirs ciblйs est plus prosaпque.Les raisons donnйes sont de permettre а des pilotes inexpйrimentйs de larguer des bombes en "combat" et de maintenir les statistiques du JTAC afin d'йviter le recyclage qui est nйcessaire s'ils ne lвchent pas suffisam
