French, U.S. coys rotate to new camps The French coy lined up their vehicles, ready to head to rotate to their next post, while American troops arrived to take over the administrative post responsibility at DOG 31. They spent approximately an hour together sharing the “comings and goings” during the transition. Some tasks that are provided while at DOG 31 are to provide security to European Union Rule of Law Mission and border police, light armored and foot patrols, road reconnaissance, surveillance and checkpoints. Coy’s traditionally rotate throughout the area to gain familiarity of each post. (Photos courtesy of French Army Lt. Nicolas Querci) PG 14
