Coalition forces conducted a search of compounds in the Garmsir District targeting a Taliban insurgent associated with weapons-facilitation operations including the procurement and smuggling of various types of small-arms, munitions, fuses and explosives. 

Coalition forces discovered multiple small-arms, rockets, rocket-propelled grenades, large 2008-04-07forces.jpgcaliber rounds and Improvised Explosive Device materials in what initially looked to be an abandoned compound. All items were destroyed on-site to protect innocent civilians from inadvertent harm as well as prevent the items’ use by extremist forces.
