The wide-ranging, multitask exercise involves military operations in urban terrain (MOUT), which include basic and battle order training.
The Turkish Army demonstrated MOUT along with combat order, training controls, fighting in built-up areas, and handmade explosives training sessions.
Dozens of Afghan and Pakistani infantry troops, and specialist teams of the three countries comprising sniper and anti-tank detachments are participating in the exercises.
Turkey has trained thousands of troops in Afghanistan since 2001 and has about 800 Turkish soldiers in Afghanistan as part of the Nato-led International Security Assistance Force, according to Defense News.
