This week, British Forces News is showcasing the work of Task Force Jaguar; which is the tri-service helicopter capability in Afghanistan.

Tonight, we focus on two workhorses of the fleet over Helmand: the Chinook and Merlin aircraft.

Their duties range from inserting troops into areas where road moves are too risky, to providing life-saving medical assistance in the air.
