QATAR - US Air Force Lieutenant General Jeffrey Harrigian says that America and Pakistan continued to work closely in the fight against terrorism.
He was addressing a Pentagon press briefing through a video-conference from Combined Air Operations Center at Al Udeid Airbase, Qatar.
He said we will continue to work closely with our partner Pakistan.
To a question about the close air support mission in Afghanistan, the General said that his command had been able to work closely with the Resolute Support headquarters to understand their requirements and then provide that air support that’s necessary to support the Afghan partners on the ground.
General Jeffrey said we look at targets, we’re going to match the best weapon for that particular target. And based on the assets that we had at that time in theater.
He said it is his responsibility to make sure that appropriate assets are available to support US forces in Afghanistan.
