Romanian Prime Minister Victor Ponta reviews the Romanian 20th Infantry Battalion, Black Scorpions, during their end-of-operations ceremony at Kandahar Airfield, Afghanistan, June 29. The Black Scorpions made important routes safe in Regional Command (South) by clearing them of explosives planted by insurgents, a role that has been transitioned to the Afghan National Security Forces. The Romanians will retain a support presence in Afghanistan. ( Army photo by Spc. Ariel J. Solomon) Romanian prime minister visits Black Scorpions to mark important transition 140629-A-JA114-952
