US Air Force 440th Air Expeditionary Advisory Squadron Capt Thomas Filbert said this was a significant obligation and contribution by Lithuania, because they only have one helicopter unit to support CAPTF.

On 26 August 2010, a delegation from the country arrived at the Afghan Air Force base in Kabul to gather critical information for their role in Afghanistan.

The team will work with a Ukrainian team to develop a complete, self-supporting advisory group with capabilities ranging from logistics to operations.
