My msn's craigmachell@hotmail.com I'll see if I can find some pics of officers on google or similar... I'd guess that they'd use BMPs and so on like the Soviets...

Left to right:
Top row: Afghan Govt. Troop with AK47; Afghan Govt. Troop with RPK74; Afghan Govt. Officer with AKSU74
Bottom row: Afghan Govt. Troop with AK47 firing; Afghan Govt. Troop in helmet Afghan Govt. Officer in helmet.
I included both flags as shields, as you mentioned you might need both on msn.

The most common mode of transport for them is a toyota truck I believe.
Do not underestimate the power of the Toyota pickup, Top Gear did an experiment to see if they could stop one from running - they dropped a caravan on it; put it in the sea; burnt it and so on and it still ran!

@communism: Here're some attempts at Afghan Govt. vehicles, all I did was put a flag on the hull of some Case and fairline (I think, sorry if this is wrong) units...

I had a go at an Afghan Govt. Troop with an RPG-7... doesn't look great though...

... and now for something completely different *cue Monty Python*
Submarines! I was having an experiment... I don't know if they're really much good, as I've not tried subs much before.

They drove that HiLux into the sea at Weston-s-Mare where my Dad lives, let the tide come in (second highest in the world after some place in Canada, sea-fact fans) and the thing was still driveable. IIRC the also dropped it off a 10-storey building and smashed it with a breakers block and it still ran. Those Japanese know how to make pick-ups

Yes they used them, but right now our own (U.S.) special forces along with Afghan militia are using them in conjunction with Humvees on patrols and raids. Trust me, I am an avid reader of Soldier of Fortune. Each month they usually have at least one or two stories with pictures about SpecOps and other military operations there. As far as being able to draw a HiLux, good luck. I know it is out of my range.

No kidding - for all the millions companies such as Range Rover and Ford spend advertising their 4 wheel drives, almost everyone on the remote areas of Australia drives Toyotas.
Japanese cars rock
