Taliban Take to Tough Training
August 28, 2006: The Taliban have been trying to increase the combat capability of their tribal warriors. Some Taliban groups appear to have undergone professional infantry training, and are led by men who also appear to have received training. Several groups of platoon (20-30 men ) and company (50-80) size have been performing to much higher standards than the normal run of ???martyr fodder??? that Afghan and Coalition troops have been encountering in Afghanistan.
There have been reports of Taliban training camps in Pakistan. Nothing permanent. These appear to be portable, with trainers and equipment moving around to safe (pro-Taliban) villages, and training young men willing to join the fight. The Taliban is paying good wages, to the more promising warriors, but still allowing many volunteers to tag along and take their chances.
