MPGC Commander, Lt. Gen. Mir Saheb Gul was responsible for the overall exercise from planning through the execution of the drill, Jan. 17.

This exercise marked the first large-scale training within the ANDFP-P in more than a year. MPGC division commander, Maj. Gen. Haji Safiullah and brigade commander, Brig. Gen. Timor Shah Ghori, were present throughout the entire exercise.

This event was the culmination of weeks of planning that included several 'table-top' rehearsals, a full-dress rehearsal, and a full operations order briefing before executing the Jan. 17th drill.

The exercise was a success and afterwards the MPGC conducted an after-action-review to discuss lessons learned and help guid potential adjustments for future training and exercises.

The MPGC plans to conduct similar emergency action drills periodically throughout the year to improve the overall security posture of the Parwan detention facility.
