Royal Marines and Afghan National Army troops launched an operation in enemy territory last week resulting in the capture of a Taliban command post, a suspected IED (Improvised Explosive Device) factory and a huge haul of weapons.
Operation GHARTSE PALANG, which means 'Lion', involved around 120 Royal Marines from 45 Commando Group and other attached ranks, along with around 30 Afghan National Army (ANA) troops.
The Marines launched the operation in the early morning of 19 January 2009.
