Stars & Stripes has a new article describing the activities of the 5/2 SBCT in the Zabul province.

ZABUL PROVINCE, Afghanistan — It’s the forgotten province in a nation time seems to have forgotten.

And until the recent boost of U.S. forces to Afghanistan, it’s the province that the military paid less attention to than others in this ongoing war.

But that is changing with the recent arrival of the 5th Stryker Brigade Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, out of Fort Lewis, Wash. — the first Stryker brigade to be deployed to the rural, poverty-stricken 6,500-square-mile province in southeastern Afghanistan.
