VOICED: German troops mimic Afghanistan at home

The video discusses the recreation of an Afghan village in the English countryside to train troops for deployment in Afghanistan. In Germany, soldiers use local resources creatively for training, such as a swimming pool as a water depot. The training emphasizes understanding Afghan culture, including tea drinking and traditional attire. However, the role play has limitations, as it cannot fully replicate real operations. Soldiers must learn the language and cultural nuances before their deployment to Afghanistan.
