PMT Viper (Police Mentoring Team) heads out on a patrol with ANP trucks in southwest Zabul province – going the deepest south they’ve ever been. The trucks have to do some serious off-roading to go a few clicks, often in dried riverbeds – and the some of villages out this way are so remote that they weren’t aware Americans were in the country. In fact, they thought that they were Russians.
