Provincial Advisory Team Taloqan

Part of the camp in Taloqan

The Provincial Advisory Team Taloqan ( PAT Taloqan for short ) was an independent unit of the Kunduz PRT in Taloqan with the aim of expanding reconstruction and civil-military cooperation into the Tachar province . The PAT started work on February 23, 2008 and had its own camp in Taloqan. The total personnel strength was a maximum of 40 people.

On May 18, 2011, the so-called incident N317 occurred in which two German soldiers were slightly wounded and one German soldier was moderately wounded. 10 days later there was a bomb attack not far away at a security meeting in which two German soldiers were killed and General Markus Kneip , among others, was wounded ( see AOR no. N321 ).

After speculation about the closure of the camp in Taloqan in January 2012, the camp was given up prematurely on February 23, 2012 and all soldiers of the PAT were transferred to the Kunduz field camp.

On April 3, 2012, responsibility for security for the province of Tachar in the barracks of the Afghan National Army was handed over to the Afghan government by Ashraf Ghani .

By October 17, 2012, all areas used by the PAT were handed over to the Afghan owners and civilian Afghan workers were given jobs in the same function in the Kunduz field camp.
