English: U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Brian Rush (lower left), a member of the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A) talks with a group of children after convoying to an Internal Displaced Persons (IDP) camp outside of Kabul, Afghanistan, on Friday, July 27, to deliver donations sent from the United States. The camp is home to approximately 585 families. The CSTC-A members, made up of joint and international military members, civil servants and contractors based at Camp Eggers, gather every two weeks under the Volunteer Community Relations (VCR) program to deliver the clothing, toys, school supplies and toiletries to the needy in the Kabul area. U.S. Air Force chaplain Lt. Col. Michael Weber manages the VCR program. He works with Afghan Religious and Cultural Affairs (RCA) Officers to determine where the donations are most needed. Once the donations are packaged for distribution Lt. Col. Weber organizes a convoy to take the VCR program volunteers out into the local community to distribute the donations and to interact with the Afghan citizens. Lt. Col. Weber recently deployed to Afghanistan's capital city from Hickam Air Force Base, Hawaii. He is the first Catholic priest to serve at this location in many months. He volunteered to deploy here replacing an Army chaplain who had to leave due to illness. Besides providing the various chaplain services to the joint military community at Camp Eggers Lt. Col. Weber also serves as a mentor to the RCAs who are the Afghan equivalent to U.S. military chaplains. CSTC-A, headquartered on Camp Eggers in the nation's capital, partners with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan and the international community, to plan, program, and implement structural, organizational, institutional and management reforms of the Afghanistan National Security Forces. The 500+ military members assigned to CSTC-A provide mentorship and training to the Afghan National Army and to the Afghan National Police.
