Sergeant Julie Marshall joins the Nuristan Provincial Reconstruction Team
as they assist with the budget and connect the government to the people.
[Marshall] Servicemembers from Forward Operating Base Kalagush
are heading to the Nurgaram District Center. US Navy Commander Bill Mallory and members
of the PRT have a tough love approach to helping with the budgeting process.
Thus far we've heard roads, salary, water. We've heard a lot of problems.
This needs to go in the budget. If it doesn't go in the budget, you don't get money for
it. You have us here to help you create that plan.
Your government is expecting it in April. [Marshall] By asking a few questions at the
market, PRT civil affairs officer Major Charles Erickson
is hoping to get a better understanding of local economic dynamics.
How many people are employed here, and as far as the customers in this market,
how wide a range they come from.
