Summary

Description
English: The Union Flag of the United Kingdom waves in the Afghan breeze between the Afghanistan and United States flags.

The US 3rd Marine Aircraft Wing (Forward) raised the flags in a ceremony to signify the British Joint Aviation Group's union with 3rd MAW (FWD).

This realignment is in preparation for the restructuring of the I Marine Expeditionary Force (Forward) as it becomes Regional Command (Southwest) taking charge of all forces in the Helmand and Nimruz provinces.

The US and UK have been operating together in the area for years, but this marks an important milestone as the aviation forces find ways to synergize their capabilities to better support the ISAF mission in Southern Afghanistan.
