Joint combat outpost Shir Khan is a new addition to the Afghanistan, Tajikistan border. The 40th Engineer Battalion built it to support Afghan border police training and to secure this vital supply route between the two countries. During the first few months of construction, the Soldiers who live and work here had to eat M-R-E's, that was until Cpl. John Smart arrived.
