The US military had turned over three D-7 bulldozers, 10 dump trucks, seven 100-kilowatt generators and four generator skids to Pakistan army engineers as part of the ongoing ââ¬Åtransition from relief to construction,ââ¬Â a statement said.
ââ¬ÅThis equipment is vital to the continuing mission of rebuilding Pakistan,ââ¬Â Commander of the US Disaster Assistance Centre Rear Admiral Michael LeFever said in Muzaffarabad, the capital of Pakistani zone of Kashmir.
The US military also intended to hand over an 84-bed mobile army surgical hospital they had set up in Muzaffarabad, it said in a statement.
The US Navyââ¬â¢s mobile construction unit, known as the Seabees, joined the relief operation after the October 8 quake in Pakistan. They constructed 70 temporarily shelters and 15 transitional shelters to be used as schools.

In a phased withdrawal the US military is to pull out around 750 American troops by the end of March.

Two Pak soldiers killed in grenade explosion at checkpoint in tribal region
(AP)
19 March 2006
MIRAN SHAH - A grenade exploded at a roadside military post in a restive tribal region in northwestern Pakistan bordering Afghanistan, killing two soldiers, officials said on Sunday.
The explosion was apparently triggered by accident Saturday near Miran Shah, the main town in North Waziristan, an intelligence official said on condition of anonymity because of the secretive nature of his job.
He gave no other details, but a security official, who also requested anonymity in line with policy, said that authorities are investigating to determine whether the soldiers were attacked by militants.
The soldiers were manning a security post about 35 kilometers (21 miles) northeast of Miran Shah, officials said.
Security officials have said Arab, Central Asian and Afghan militants, backed by local tribesmen, are in North and neighboring South Waziristan regions, which both border Afghanistan.
Clashes between security forces and Islamic militants earlier this month in North Waziristan left more than 100 fighters and eight soldiers dead, military officials have said.
Pakistan - a key US ally in the war against terrorism - has deployed thousands of troops in the region to track down militants.

Keeping in mind the VERY close relationship between DENEL and Pakistan....what do you guys think of this latest news..??
Denel Shatters Artillery Records
(Source: Denel; issued April 18, 2006)
In a continuing drive to improve its acknowledged lead in tube artillery systems, Denel managed to fire to 75 kilometres last week, shattering all previous artillery records.
This range improvement was achieved on 11 April 2006 with the latest G6-52L, Denel's extended range version of its renowned G6 self-propelled artillery system. It fired V-LAP projectiles which use both base-bleed and rocket-assist technology to extend the range.
The ammunition was conditioned at 50 degrees C as part of a safety qualification for an upcoming manned user trial. The gun fired at an elevation of 1 000 metres above sea level at the Alkantpan firing range near Prieska in the Northern Cape Province of South Africa.
What makes this achievement more remarkable is the excellent consistency achieved, with a probable error of only 0.38% of range fired.
"We'll be able to further improve on this accuracy in future by applying range correcting fuze technology on which Denel has started to work," explained Mr Bastiaan Verhoek, Executive Manager at DLS Lyttelton, a Denel company in Pretoria.
Artillery systems in many parts of the world, such as within NATO, are specified to fire shorter ranges, mainly in the interest of standarization.
"For these requirements we do supply guns and ammunition systems too, but because we use the same design technologies, Denel can do so with much more confidence and greater margins of safety," he added.
"With these latest firing trials, Denel showed that it remained the world leader in development of long range artillery ballistic systems," Verhoek concluded.

Afghans, Pakistan, U.S. to hold first joint drill
By Sayed Salahuddin
KABUL (Reuters) - The U.S. military plans to hold its first joint military exercises with Afghanistan and Pakistan along the border of the two countries, a spokesperson for the military said on Monday.
The manoeuvres, called Inspired Gambit, will be in the form of an "air assault" and are expected to be launched next month, Colonel Laurent Fox told a regular news briefing.
Fox gave no reason for the exercise to be held now, but said the U.S. military and the countries needed to cooperate closely to fight an insurgency by the Taliban and Islamic militant allies such as Osama bin Laden's al Qaeda network.
But the exercise comes amid a rise in attacks by militants in recent weeks in areas of Afghanistan close to the border with Pakistan, and in Pakistan's tribal area of north Waziristan.
Bin Laden and other militants are believed to be hiding in the porous tribal border area.
Earlier this month, Pakistan's army said it killed an Egyptian al Qaeda member, wanted for involvement in the 1998 bombing of the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania, along with six other militants in Waziristan, where close to 300 militant tribesmen have been killed in fighting since early March.
Afghan officials have often complained that since the Taliban's 2001 ouster, insurgents have used Pakistani soil to launch attacks inside Afghanistan.
Both Islamabad and Kabul have accused each other of not doing enough to curb the cross-border movement of militants along the border areas.
U.S.-led forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001 and overthrew the Taliban government after its leaders refused to hand over bin Laden, who masterminded Sept. 11 attacks on the United States.
A tripartite commission involving the U.S. military, Afghanistan and Pakistan held a regular meeting last week.
A joint statement said the three had agreed to enhance "communication and coordination" to fight the militants in the border area, something President George W. Bush called for during a visit to Islamabad last month.

Transport United beats Pakistan Army
Posted on Saturday, May 13, 2006, @ 08:14:21 EDT
13 May 2006- Bhutanese national league champions Transport United downed Pakistan Army with a solitary goal in the second match of the on-going AFC President’s Cup in Kuching, Malaysia yesterday evening.
Utd’s quest for the semi’s berth would be decided when it clashes with Chinese Taipei’s Tatung on Sunday.
In its debut match of the tournament on Wednesday, a last minute surprise resulted in Transport United losing 1-2 to Cambodia’s Khemara.
The ‘tough’ seesaw match first had Khemara in the lead when midfielder Srey Veasna scored just before the breather. Transport United’s striker Ugyen Wangchuk levelled it in the 66th minute.
However, Khemara’s Kim led the team to victory with a last minute score.
“We missed a few chances that came our way and we have to rectify our mistakes in the next match,” coach Nidup Dorjee said in a post-match press conference. “My players lacked finishing skills.”
Khemara’s coach Jo Young agreed that luck was on his side. “It was a very tough match. Both the teams had equal chances of winning but I am pleased with my players performance.” In the inaugural match of the tournament, Chinese Taipei’s Tatung club thrashed Pakistan Army with a 4-1 victory.
Pakistan Army began the slide with an ‘own goal’ in the 11th minute and was down with two more before the breather. A consolation came when the Army’s Jaffar Hussain managed to pull one back.
On Thursday, at the opening Group B match, Sri Lanka’s Ratnam Sports Club downed Nepal’s Manang Marshyangdi (MMC) with a 2-0 win.
Though MMC controlled the game, Sri Lanka’s Kasun Jayasuria found the net during a quick counter-attack in the 66th minute. Mate Mohamed Rawme Mohideen was again on the target in the 89th minute.
In the other match the same day, Tajikistan’s Vakhsh beat last year’s runners-up Dordoi-Dynamo of Kyrgyzstan’s 3-0.
Vakhsh’s opened their account in the 24th minute and added two more in the 62nd and 81st minute.
Yesterday evening, Chinese Taipei’s Tatung played against Cambodia’s Khemara. Today in Group B, Sri Lanka’s Ratnam Sports Club will play against Kyrgyzstan’s Dordoi-Dynamo while Tajikistan’s FC Vakhsh will play against Nepal’s MMC.
