A look behind the scenes on operations
A new exhibition at the Imperial War Museum in London takes a look at the challenges of supporting and maintaining troops on the front line.
‘War Story: Supplying Frontline Afghanistan’ follows the journey and logistical challenges from RAF Brize Norton in the UK to Camp Bastion in Afghanistan and on to the forward operating bases and patrol bases on the front line.
The display features brand new material including photographs, interviews and time-lapse footage collected by Imperial War Museum (IWM) staff on a series of expeditions to Afghanistan in 2012 and 2013. This is the first time since the First World War that IWM teams have visited an active theatre of conflict.
