He spoke with troops in Camp Bastion about their experiences and discussed the challenges of redeploying people and equipment while supporting the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF).

He went on to meet with Regional Command (Southwest) Commandant General, US Marine Corps Brigadier General Daniel Yoo, and his Deputy Commander Brigadier Rob Thomson, the most senior British officer in Helmand. During the office call, General Wall was briefed on the situation on the ground and the increased capability of the ANSF, who lead 99 per cent of operations across Afghanistan.
