II. Carpenters and painters at work (and play) in the reception area at Kabul Airport's terminal building. The room is a shell and much work needs to be done. Several men take a break, sitting on sofas (upholstery material suggests that these are the ones seen being ordered in an earlier tape). Close-up of paint being mixed. Soldiers use roller to apply the paint (rather badly) to the wall. Elsewhere in the room, carpenters cut holes in sheets of plywood (for use in partitions ?).
III. Final preparations of food in MCSU - food is heated in large pans Food is then put into large square lidded pan for serving at the counter.
