Although it is a narrow steep sided valley, troops who have forced their nway into it usually find their rear endangered by fighters using numerous mountain trails to strike intruders in the rear and cut off large bodies of troops from supplies, reinforcments, or retreat. At least this nwas the Russian and the Taliban armies experience in the past. Consider the importance to military finances of the beautiful Panjshir Valley apple green emeralds.
