The National Guard's Agribusiness Development Teams
WASHINGTON (10/6/09) - The National Guard's Agribusiness Development Teams are promoting sustainable farming practices in Afghanistan and are an innovative way for Guardmembers to use civilian-acquired skills in the region, a Guard official said today.
The teams, which started out with one team from Missouri, have evolved to roughly a dozen dispersed throughout Afghanistan, Army Col. Marty Leppert told an audience here at the annual convention of the Association of the United States Army. Leppert oversees the program for the director of the Army National Guard. |
For everyone working within CJSOTF-A. CMO Office has Contacts for these ADT Teams.
EDIT: There isn't any ADT to go around. If your in the EAST Maybe.. and I mean MAYBE you could link up with on if their are close. Conventional is using the ADT up. SOF does have a few, but not enough. Something easy to teach them is Grapes on grape trellis systems and compositing.
IMHO Every SF Soldier thinks Afghans know how the farm. WELL THEY DON'T!! They are survival farmers, grow what they need for NOW or this season. This Program just isn't NG Soldiers or Offricers teaching people.
Something for your back pocket??!!!
