Page "Provincial Reconstruction Team" Paragraph 6

Public diplomacy is an essential element to successful Provincial Reconstruction Team projects.

PRTs, in Afghanistan, are tasked with a specific area of a province and coordinate, develop, and fund local projects with the aid of the government.

These projects enable the local population to become familiar with and trust the U. S. counterinsurgency efforts in Afghanistan.

Projects supported by PRTs are created and approved by the ranks of the entire provincial government in Afghanistan.

The ability of PRTS to conduct Public diplomacy and their ability to work with the provincial government makes counterinsurgency objectives obtainable.
