addition to the ammunition, the EOD technicians destroyed several expired fire extinguishers
so that they cannot fall into wrong hands and be used to make improvized explosive devices
(IEDs).
Since October 2006, the Hungarian Defence Forces have been present in Afghanistan with
their Provincial Reconstruction Team to help the development of the country. The Hungarian-
led Provincial Reconstruction Team will have completed its mission by the spring of 2013,
and thus the Hungarian Defence Forces will withdraw their PRT contingent from Baghlan
Province. Concurrently, Hungary will terminate its provincial development activity in
Afghanistan.
Another event related to the withdrawal of the PRT is the redeployment of the Hungarian–
American Military Advisory Team (MAT, earlier OMLT) to a new location. Instead of
Khilagay base, which is situated some 15 kilometers from Pol-e Khomri, in the future the
MAT will continue operating in Mazar-e Sharif, and its task system will be transformed as
well.
