Although most of the local populace may have fled, the AUP are involved in the lives of those locals who elected to stay. In January, a local man stepped on an IED likely meant for coalition forces. Two AUP officers rushed to his aid before hitting a second device. One officer lost his legs, the other lost a foot, said Katz. "Being from here they have a notable amount of bravery to protect the people and fight the enemy," he said. For now the coalition and AUP forces in the area are in a holding pattern in the area around the dam, although Faziullah has plans for the future of his home district that go beyond the current situation. "My plan is to expand my posts," he said. "The Marines will help me, and the (Afghan National Army) will help me, and we will bring peace to Kajaki."
