Published: March 26, 2015, 7:05 p.m.

While the ceremony to transition from the end of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) into the new Resolution Support Mission takes place, questions about the specifics of the new mission remain. Major General Todd Semonite, the recently appointed commanding general of the Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan (CSTC—A), bears great responsibility over the next year for the success of the new mission. He recently visited Camp Shaheen in northern Balkh province where a large portion of training and equipping of the Afghan Forces takes place. Video of the camp and Interviews with General Semonite shed light on what the new mission will be.
