Oruzgan is one of the spicier provinces in Afghanistan. If you’re looking for action, the places to go in Afghanistan are (in no special order).... Kandahar, Helmand, Ghazni, Paktika, Paktia, Oruzgan, and Zabol. Not that there isn’t some action in other places too, but those are your real exciting places.

Don’t forget the Kunar Province aka “Taliban Central” and it's Korengal Valley aka “The Valley of Death” - those troops are isolated in the infamous range of the Hindu Kush = mountains inhospitable to human life, weather wise in the winter - year round wise from the Taliban.

Right now, the forward fire bases are all but marooned for the winter - but they are carrying the heavy load
