A ceremony has marked the end of the role of 1 RIFLES - the last Battalegroup attached to 3 Commando - in Nahr-e Saraj South and the handover to 5 RIFLES of 20th Armoured Brigade. They have spent six months fighting the insurgency, bringing security to the area and mentoring the Afghan National Security Forces. The tour has seen them take part in 6,001 patrols and 200 operations - but at a cost.
