There are 200 soldiers and civilians participating in the seven-day event at Camp Edwards on Joint Base Cape Cod. Along with 12 other members of the Afghanistan National Army, the three men were all engaged in the joint exercise that focused on working on collaboration and tactical strategies that involved civilians and officers and senior enlisted personnel, Sahady said.
Along with the U.S. and Afghanistan, military officials from Tajikistan, Pakistan, Kazakhstan and Mongolia are at the base.

The goal of the exercises, which are organized by U.S. Central Command, is to promote cooperation among the countries and prepare them for participation in international events. This particular event is geared toward a United Nations' peacekeeping mission. Typically, ethnic tensions and human rights violations are the main issues that come up in such a peacekeeping mission, Custis said.

Guess they weren't interested in ethnic tensions or human rights.
