The US Marine Corps in Afghanistan is pushing out the security bubble around Musa Qala, as it prepares to hand over to the Afghan National Army.

The Americans have taken over from British Troops, who lost 20 servicemen in attacks on the district.

Now that the US surge is drawing to a close, the Afghan Security Forces in Musa Qala are preparing for the transition.
