SITUATION: Kandahar Province, Afghanistan, 2020. Afghanistan remains an active warzone as US forces continue their withdrawal from the country. Despite this, many challenges remain for the Afghan government and its people, especially this year with the outbreak of COVID-19. Many countries across the world have been impacted by the virus, including Afghanistan and its neighbors. With limited resources available to contain the spread, the Afghan government has called upon the United Nations and other associated NGOs, as well as the remaining US forces in the region to help minimize the spread and expand testing capabilities. In order to minimize the spread of COVID-19, the local government in Kandahar has restricted access to the international airport in the city. Checkpoints guarded by local ANA forces have been setup along multiple routes of entry and egress across the outskirts of the city. Similar checkpoints have also been setup across several main highways in the region. Each of these checkpoints also provides COVID-19 testing capabilities, courtesy of the International Development & Aid Project (IDAP). The local Kandahar government has requested US forces to assist in managing one of the major checkpoints in the region. 1st Platoon will ensure all vehicles and personnel entering the checkpoint are thoroughly examined and receive COVID testing if necessary. c. 2020 - Rules of Engagement On order from your commander, enemy insurgent forces are declared hostile and may be attacked subject to the following instructions: Positive Identification (PID) is required prior to engagement.
