Marine Embedded Training Team 6-4 as well as other US units provided air support, both with attack helicopters and A-10 and F-15E strike aircraft. The operation enabled the construction of two bases for the Afghan Army in the Alasay valley, which had been guerrilla control since 2006. == Context == The sector of Alasay valley, in Kapisa Province, had been under guerrilla control since 2006. The ISAF decided to regain control of the sector.

The GTIA is composed of * the 27th chasseurs alpins Battalion (27 BCA) * elements of the 93rd Mountain Artillery Regiment (93 RAM) * elements of the 2nd Foreign Engineering Regiment (2 REG) * elements of the 4th chasseurs regiment (4 RC) * elements of the 28th Communication Regiment (28 RT). * the Mountain Commando Group (GCM) The 4th Company of the 27 RC received the callsign ''Vert'' ("Green"); it was composed of several section, label ''Vert 20'', ''Vert 30'', ''Vert 40''. The 2nd Company received the callsign of ''Jonquille'' (Narcissus pseudonarcissus; by tradition, chasseurs alpins never utter the word "yellow", but use the colour of the plant as a metonymy). The plan envisioned construction of two outposts for the Afghan Army.〔(CHRONOLOGIE de la bataille d'Alasay (opération Dinner out) ), Jean Guisnel, ''Le Point''〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Battle of Alasay」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
