Nearly 600 troops will be flying to Taliban. They will be there for 7 months. In order to support them nearly 5000 charity wristbands  in purple, green and blue colors for new 3rd Battalion Royal Regiment of Scotland have been created. These wristbands bear the slogan “supporting The Black Watch, 3 Scots, in Afghanistan 2009″. The wristbands cost £2 and the money raised will go to Army Benevolent fund and Erskine Hospital. Those who wear this wristband will help boost morale. The Black Watch is the pride of Scotland and its important Scotland gets behind them for this latest mission.
