kudzu said it right, I was with a PRT (SECFOR) and there was a ADT team on our FOB, great folks, they had some 11B's attached to them for security and they did a lot of good in our province. Many were high end Agriculture folks (college level understanding of farming and irrigation) they helped the locals a lot and the locals like their presence.
The biggest problem Afghanni's had with the concept of food crops is that when food crops would fail one year because of weather or whatever..they didn't make money and they would revert back to poppy which has always been a money maker for them..Afghani's are pragmatic when it comes to "paying the bills"
If you look around there are states deploying these teams and I know from an 11B perspective they are asking for volunteers to go with them.
