As Defence Ministers of all countries that support the NATO force in Afghanistan meet in the Dutch resort town of Valkenburg, Natochannel.tv makes available to broadcasters this report on a recent operation by British troops called Mar Lewe. 

The Valkenburg ministerial meeting takes place not far from a NATO joint forces headquarters headquarters in Brunssum, formerly known as AFCENT NORTH, or the American forces central command for northern Europe. From the bunkers built in a former coal mine in this suburban Dutch village, NATO manages several operations against the Taliban in  Afghanistan.
