Camp Morehead 2 May 08

Went south of Kabul to Camp Morehead in order to re-zero my weapon and my ACOG (4x sight). I did some CQM (Close quaters marksmenship) and just shot a crap load of rounds. I even shot my "nine".

This is the village located next to Camp Morehead

The firing range at Camp Morehead with a burned out BTR-60 Soviet APC. Not only did we shoot a bunch of freakin ammo, we also blew up some demo.

This is just a shot of the close quarters we encounter on the roads of Afghanistan.

Darulaman Palace or the King's Palace was built in the 1920s by King Amanullah Shah. The palace is now in ruins, but there is talk of restoration. The Queen's palace is located on some high ground to the left, (not pictured).

The gap in the background was known as the Lion's Gate. The high ground on the right is where the famous Kabul wall is located. The Kabul River is just to the left of the wall on the left side of the road. The "Old City" is located through the gap opposite the Kabul wall.

The ruins of the Kabul wall in the Lion's Gate.

Small fort locted at the terminus of the Kabul wall in the Lion's Gate.
