In May 2006 the British PRT, which took over control from an American PRT, were patrolling with the ANP in Lashkar Gah. The PRT were advising the Afghan police on how to carry out vehicle searches. The PRT was made up of members of 21 (Gibraltar) Air Assault Battery, 216 Signals Squadron and 16 (Close Support) Medical Regiment, all part of Colchester based 16 Air Assault Brigade.
