201 Khalid Bin Walid corps (Laghman
...Afghan province with a population of about 445,600, which is multi-ethnic and mostly a rural society. During the invasions of Alexander the Great, the area was known as Lampaka, wich is apparently Olde Macedonian for Laghman.The city of Mihtarlam serves as the bucolic capital of the province. The population is half Pashtun, the remainder Tadjik and Pashai. It had a repution for great wealth until it was conquered in the tenth century by Abu Mansur Sabuktigin.
He conquered it and set fire to the places in its vicinity which were inhabited by infidels, and demolishing the idol-temples, he established Islam in them, He marched and captured other cities and killed the polluted wretches, destroying the idolatrous and gratifying the Musulmans. After wounding and killing beyond all measure, his hands and those of his friends became cold in counting the value of the plundered property.
After that it was mostly notable for the production of dirt, rocks, and holy men...

203 Mansoori corps (Gardez)

207 al-Farooq corps (Herat
...a venerable old Persian-speaking city in western Afghanistan, populated mostly by Tadjiks, which is why it's not as blood-soaked as areas controlled by Pashtuns...

215 Azm crops (Helmand
...an Afghan province populated mostly by Pashtuns, adjacent to Injun country in Pak Balochistan...
Earlier, acting minister of defense Muhammad Yaqoob Mujahid had said that they will be building an Islamic army that will be equipped with the latest weapons and will be protecting the national interests, values and borders of Afghanistan.

The Taliban
...mindless ferocity in a turban...
has not officially started training army members for their new army but tens of the Taliban affiliates are busy getting trained in various provinces of Afghanistan.

They are learning new technics and are given uniforms too.

One can only imagine they’re getting plenty of exercise as they learn the new “technics”:
