An Afghan boy blows bubbles given to him by US Army troops (seen in background) during a December 03, 2002 civil humanitarian mission in the village of Tadokhile in central Afghanistan. The mission provided more than a hundred Afghan men, women and children from the village with free medical care and basic dentistry as part of the ongoing Operation Enduring Freedom. In addition to the free health clinic, soldiers also distributed school supplies and toys to local Afghan children. US military leaders have recently indicated a shift away from combat operations in the war in Afghanistan while increasing the emphasis on civil humanitarian efforts to rebuild the country and provide stability for the new government.
