This CP provided interdiction to allow continued freedom of movement from Lashkargah to Garmsir. Ultimately intended to be an un-partnered police check point, CP Wrightsman was initially manned by Hades 1 and 2, then subsequently turned over to Kilo Company for later handover to the Nawa Police.” — Source: 3/3 Command Chronology for the Period of 1 October 2010 through 1 December [sic] 2010
