BAGRAM AIRBASE, Afghanistan – Afghan National Security Forces, assisted by Coalition forces, killed more than a dozen insurgents March 21 when the combined force foiled a Taliban ambush in Oruzgan Province.
 “The combined force was conducting a security patrol north of Deh Rawood District to demonstrate the government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan’s commitment to secure remote areas in the province,” said Army Maj. Chris Belcher, Coalition forces spokesman.
Insurgents in concealed fighting positions attacked the patrol with rocket-propelled grenades and small-arms fire. ANSF supported by Coalition forces immediately returned fire and advanced on the insurgent positions.
Once the enemy fighting positions were located, friendly forces called in close air support, eliminating the insurgents.
