NANGARHAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan – U.S. Army Staff Sgt. Jim Wilson, of Ellijay, Ga., speaks with a young Afghan boy while providing security at the Shinwar district contractor’s rodeo. “This promotes competition and competition brings out the best in most folks,” Wilson said of the opportunity. The round-up of more than 135 potential Afghan building firms was to walk through the area and bid for three separate work projects. The upgraded area will be a headquarters for the 2nd Kandak, 201st Corps and will be shared with Coalition partners assigned to train and fight with the Afghan Warriors. (U.S. Army photo by Sgt.
