Provincial Reconstruction Team Logar
Military unit
Provincial Reconstruction Team Logar (Czech: Provinční rekonstrukční tým Logar) was a Provincial Reconstruction Team that was part of the International Security Assistance Force - an international military force in Afghanistan. PRT Logar was subordinated to ISAF Regional Command East, responsible for the eastern provinces of Afghanistan. Regional Command East with its HQ in Bagram was a U.S.-run Operational Command containing units from several other NATO and non-NATO countries. The task of PRT Logar was to help the Afghan government rebuild and further develop Logar province.[1]
The PRT combined civilian experts from the Czech Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Czech Army military, whose role was to maintain a secure environment for reconstruction projects. The Czech PRT had proportionally one of the highest numbers of civilian experts in PRT. The members of the civilian team included construction engines, development specialists and experts in areas such as agriculture, security, media or veterinary medicine. These specialists cooperated with the provincial government, councils of elders (suras) and other representatives of local communities to extend their capacities and, through a broad range of joint projects, to have a positive impact on the province both in mid and long-term.
