NANGARHAR PROVINCE, Afghanistan -- As U.S. Army advisors enter the remote police training facility, a bright white lab coat stands out against the backdrop of the sand-colored mountains in the eastern Afghan desert. The person wearing the lab coat is neither a police officer nor a male; she is a doctor. Heading toward the doctor is another woman, Army 2nd. Lt. Eva Gibbons, assigned to the 3rd Cavalry Regiment. Gibbons, a native of Weare, New Hampshire and a graduate of the University of New Hampshire. She is serving as an advisor with the police advising team in Train, Advise and Assist Command-East.
