Tarnak Farms, Military training facility in Kandahar, Afghanistan
The Tarnak Farms complex spans across agricultural land near Kandahar Airfield, featuring military training grounds and operational facilities.
From 1998 to 2001, Tarnak Farms functioned as a base for Al Qaeda members who relocated there from Nazim Jihad due to Northern Alliance threats.
The site transformation into an agricultural development center reflects Afghanistan's shift towards sustainable farming practices and community education.
The Kandahar Regional Agriculture and Rural Development Institute at Tarnak Farms provides training programs for local farmers to improve their agricultural techniques.
In April 2002, the location became the site of a military incident where an American F-16 pilot mistakenly dropped a bomb on Canadian soldiers during training.
