British Army Women in Afghanistan

62
In May, the British Royal Legion 2012 sponsored a photojournalist Alison Baskerville's visit to the British Armed Forces in Afghanistan to study the changing role of women in the military. Alison was given unprecedented access to the British army of female combat officers (FEOS) and women at the Afghan National Army Training Center in Kabul.

British Army Women in Afghanistan

2. The FEOS organization works to build relationships with Afghan women in some of the most dangerous parts of Helmand province. Since the interaction between women and male soldiers is strictly prohibited in these small communities, FEOS recruits female volunteers from across the army, who subsequently receive special cultural and language training to fulfill their role.

3. The exhibition was called “White Photography”, as this term was used to describe how information for an enhanced intelligence collection contributes to a picture that is outside of normal military objectives, but plays an important role in the battle for hearts and minds.

4. Anna's language training helped her gain access to the associations, and the residents were intrigued by her. In many cases, she pretends to refer to someone whom she calls the “Helmand husband” in order to get help in strengthening relationships with women who do not understand her position to remain unmarried.

5. The images taken by Alison show how women, British and Afghan, respond to the often harsh conditions in which they find themselves and how they maintain their morale and personality in the face of difficulties. Captain Alice Homer, officer of the Royal Electricians and Mechanical Engineers. She spent six months in a row in a small military unit at Camp Bastion.

6. The photos are exhibited at a unique and thought-provoking exhibition in support of the Royal British Legion - Poppy Appeal 2012. Where: Gallery @ Oxo, Oho Tower Shipyard, South Bank, London, SE1 9PH. When: the exhibition is open from 11 to 18 from October 25 to November 11 2012.

7. The patrol base in Helmand province is limited in shower facilities, which often consist of a hose in a tent and exist in one copy for men and women. Only a small hand-made sign ensures privacy.

11. Young Afghan women go to the headquarters of the Afghan National Police in Lashkar Gah, where they hope to receive training and basic literacy skills. One day they hope to graduate and get some measure of independence.

12. It all starts with education. If we can teach these young girls that they have the right to be free, then maybe we can change things for the next generation of women in Afghanistan. Commented Gullali, Head of the Department of Women’s Affairs in Gereshk, Helmand Province.

13. “When I meet with such soldiers as Jess, I hope that women from Afghanistan will see her and also want to put on her uniform, get a job and learn to be independent,” says Gullali.

14. At a military training center in Kabul, Afghan female recruits participate in the 20 week course in the hope of becoming officers of the Afghan National Army. Captain Susanna Wallis, the Royal Officer, volunteered to become a mentor to these women.

15. Women rest after practicing marching. Despite the fact that the training is held separately from men, Susanna pushes women to get an education along with men.

16. Exercise is a key part of the course, and women train daily.

17. At the end of his tent, Jess and the other girls created their own "living room". This is a place where girls can plunge into a completely different world from Doughton Abby.

18. Most women will write messages to their families, informally called “letters of death,” which will be kept in a safe place and will be delivered only if the worst happens.

19. There are few ways to preserve privacy at checkpoints and patrol bases in Helmand Province. Women use mosquito nets to provide some kind of personal space, often decorating them with gifts from loved ones.

20. Jess will return home to his boyfriend and family. She is also looking forward to returning to her favorite sport - parachuting.

22. Jess often works with women in other roles. Harriet (pictured left) is a qualified army vet. They are preparing to go on joint patrols with local Afghan families to teach them the basics of veterinary care. Very often it is the responsibility of children to care for goats for the family.

23. Anna returned home to RAF Breeze Norton at the end of seven months of service, and she was met by her father Alan and mother Carol.

          Guys, where does this bile come from? Who doesn’t know, ours, while staying in Afghanistan, also trained Afghans as military personnel. And in the 40 Army there were also a lot of women (attendants). And women from the Muslim republics of the USSR were attracted as translators-facilitators of relations with the local population. NATO’s stay and activity in Afghanistan causes only obscene and malicious comments on the forum, although it would be worthwhile to think about where the front line will go after the 2014 year? It seems that many members of the forum sincerely empathize with the Taliban, who bring the light of true doctrine and progress (haha three times (sad) sad sad The Chinese have a saying: "Those who do not think about distant difficulties are in for near troubles."

            Attendants, translators, signalmen, nurses are one thing. But when they run in the field with a gun, it is immoral during local conflicts. Well, if the men are not enough for the service. But when the husband sits at home with the child, and the wife fights, this is some kind of perversion.
            World has gone mad!

                In Israel, women serve so that when the Arabs from Hamas come to them to cut off their heads, the women did not raise a screech, but put up some kind of resistance. And it fits very well into the propaganda of the unification of the Israeli people against the "Arab plague".

                In my opinion, a woman should give birth, not kill. Nobody attacked her country, the enemy does not stand at the walls of her city, so this is purely her initiative.

                  Modern wars have changed dramatically.
                  A woman should have the right to choose - go to fight, or go to give birth. Or combine. One another is not a hindrance.
                  With this sauce - should give birth and sit with the family, you can serve anything. Then let's lock her at home - it will be even easier

        Fagots, Oleg, are everywhere. And from whether they are hidden or not, their number does not change. And from the fact that women go to serve, their number is also not growing - it is just that women have the opportunity to be more independent. And they often serve better than us men, believe my experience.
        They defend their country. Are you condemning those who served in the Soviet contingent in Afghanistan? Something I don’t think so.

      All this causes ambiguous feelings, and given what and why shaving and stripes are done, the attitude towards what is happening is negative.
      Although this British woman can believe that she is doing a good deed, but for some reason it seems to me that the locals are taken into account last.

              I recommend to teach a story. For example, about the first female doctor in Russia.

              In tsarist Russia, the doors of all universities were closed for women. In the Medical and Surgical Academy alone, some professors (I.M.Sechenov, S.P. Botkin) in 1862 allowed three women, including N.P. Suslova, to attend their lectures. However, in 1863, the government banned women from studying at the academy.
              N.P.Suslova left for Switzerland, where, as an exception, she was admitted to the medical faculty of the University of Zurich, which she brilliantly graduated in 1867.

Well, God forbid, in the year when Brezhnev died, somewhere in December, near Herat, we fell under a mortar raid. We drove on the BTR-60, well, which is without a roof. The area was considered the rear, I didn’t even have weapons and here there are mines from above. Jumped to the sidelines, with a fright, the spirits threw a dozen mines and everything stopped. I don’t remember whether there were losses, but the translator girl was traveling with us, I don’t remember whether she had a title or not, but the gun was definitely there. So, a splinter hit it, and it hit the inside of the thigh, just below the groin. She sits on the ground, on cotton pants, a spot of blood grows at the site of the wound. Medical officer, a healthy senior sergeant to her, she's behind the barrel - do not come, shoot! He told her: she’s a fool, now she will throw away all the blood and everything, she’s in no way. Someone realized, cracked her from behind, the pistol was taken away, and she fights not allowing herself to be bandaged, in general they broke her, she cut her pants, she carefully cut some kind of vein, well, they put a tourniquet there, and she just had critical days, well, she and probably shy ...
      And about life after 40. In order to give birth to healthy children, a woman must give birth to the first between 19 and 23 years old, any educated obstetrician will tell you so that physiology is determined not by what age we live in and if under the guise of liberalism we do not care about it, then it certainly spits on us, of which you can all clearly see. The uniqueness of a woman is not that she serves in the army and shoots from a grenade launcher (by the way it would be interesting to look), but that no man is able to give birth to a child, at least for now ....

        Now there is the possibility of a normal birth with a sharp decrease in dangerous situations and at a much older age. It is desirable - yes, less rumors and tests. Is it obligatory? Not

      When I was in school, we also had girls, so to speak. So a more or less normal girl will not join the army. Second, if you take the girls into the army, it’s only for non-combat positions, so to speak: telegraphists, financiers, doctors, etc. Third women should serve only in the state and should not take part in conflicts outside the state, for example, in French Legion - the most warring alliance of the French army are only men.

        Why doesn’t it? They're coming, quite normal. Like normal men.

      why are they a "factor of decay and conflict"?


      It is strange, for all your "enlightenment", you do not know the common truths ... after a while of being in a purely male team, the very last and already overgrown little girl turns into a written beauty. Who was in the "hot spots" will confirm ... the young guys fell for the "free-spirits", who were not only suitable for them as older sisters, but also for their mothers. My reconnaissance friend became a clear confirmation of this.
      I don't want to offend anyone, but it was so. And the fact that the "medics" saved the lives of our soldiers cannot be taken away either.
      Good luck to everyone in a peaceful life! And if you fight, then let's go without women. As they say ... "War has no woman's face."

        I was in hot spots. AND? Does this somehow greatly affect how a person fights? And, like, in a civilian way, he will only fuck young people - and then this will not be considered decomposition?

      However, let us recall the exclusively biological side. (I warn you right away in this comment that there is no sentiment of any kind. Pure biology. So I will especially ask those who are especially impressionable and susceptible to avoid reading it in order to avoid an inadequate reaction to what I wrote.) ...
      A woman, that is, a human female (whether you like it or not, but it is), is the weakest link in a biological species called "homo sapiens". Demographic losses associated with the death of nulliparous women of childbearing age are restored (according to statisticians) not earlier than 50 generations ...
      Conclusion - to dramatically reduce the number of females, and humanity will die out. For the rest will not be able to restore the population decline, both natural and artificial ...

      So, my dear colleagues on the site, all the talk about whether a woman should fight or not, amorally or vice versa is nothing more than an empty pastime ... Well, do not blame me for being rude, but ...
      The female should be primarily concerned with what she was born for - reproduction of the population. If she stops doing this, the biological species (and in this case humanity) is doomed to disappear ... Everything else is trifles, like a soap opera ...

      As for these English women ... Yes spit! These are their sexual difficulties. They are already big girls and let them decide how and how to earn a living ... But I have more respect for them than for our effeminate dippers, who by hook or by crook try to squander from the army ...

        Ingenious. What for females then do generally something other than this. Well him. I think women should be denied access to education.

      Yes, I'm generally talking about healthy children, and not about normal childbirth. Sorry, we need a normal birth if a woman gives birth to a sick child! This refers to serious abnormalities at the genetic level. Modern medicine allows for a safe birth, it even allows sick children to produce offspring themselves, but no matter how vile it sounds, from the point of view of the biology of a species, the artificial shutdown of natural selection leads to its (kind of) physical degradation and extinction! It is clear that a person having read what has been created in the image and likeness, wants to become like some people, and even giving birth a little, considers any posterity valuable, relying solely on his own ego. Nevertheless, the laws of the development of the species are based on the reproduction of healthy offspring, with a sufficient quantitative supply of births and in this, no matter how shocking, the person is no different from dogs or excuse me, bed bugs. In this case, if the task is to reduce the population (free or not free), then the less healthy the offspring is born or the less it is born, the faster the species disappears and (or) as an option, if it is not possible to fully influence health, then you can act to the brains, for a healthy idiot is essentially no better than a sick wise guy. So stop, that already went the wrong way ...

      And what is it that women serve in the army? This is normal. Women fought in the war. There were tankers and pilots and snipers. Many were awarded orders and medals, became Heroes of the Soviet Union. And this means that women fought no worse than men.
