Prince Harry
 

Prince Harry recently enjoyed the benefits of the protection afforded by Concertainer® units while on deployment in Southern Afghanistan. Operating out of FOB Dwyer, Cornet Wales, as he is known to his colleagues, has been coordinating air support and air attack on Taleban positions. Protected by a perimeter of Concertainer units surrounding the base, the Prince was able to get involved in frontline fire-fights with the enemy, fighting alongside Gurkha troops just 500 metres from enemy positions.

FOB Dwyer is in Garmsir, Helmand province, and provides vital combat and logistical support for all troops deployed in southern Helmand as part of Task Force Helmand.
