A local Afghan engineer puts up the frame of a holding pen at a vet clinic in Jalalabad City, Afghanistan, Nov. 1 as part of a U.S. funded construction project that is being overseen by the 935th Agri-Development Team.

The team is the first of its kind in Afghanistan, and is comprised of National Guardsmen with backgrounds in the farming industry.

The success of this program is vital to the security of the Nangarhar province.
