BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan – Afghan National Security Forces, advised by Coalition forces, killed several insurgents March 2 after a failed ambush by the Taliban 30 kilometers northeast of Gareshk District in Helmand province. 
The combined force was conducting a reconnaissance patrol when a group of insurgents engaged them with small-arms fire, rocket-propelled grenades and mortar fire.  The combined force immediately returned accurate small-arms and machine gun fire. The large group of insurgents attempted to out-maneuver the combined force and moved into a trench line.
Moments later, the combined force fixed the insurgents in their position and used several precision munitions to effectively eliminate the Taliban insurgents who were trying to reinforce the enemy positions.
