As you may know, today marks the tenth anniversary of the Afghan war’s beginning, the longest war in US history. Here is a collection of what are, in my opinion, some of the best pieces of photojournalism from the past ten years of fighting. These are by some of the most talented conflict photographers out there.

1. Tim Hetherington. Soldiers near the village of Donga use a white phosphorus incendiary bomb against insurgents.

2. Robert Nickelsberg. January 2004. US Marine Corporal Gravenese patrols Asadabad in Kunar province. Ten kilometers from the Pakistan border.

3. David Guttenfelder. November 2009. Pech Valley, Kunar Province. An Afghan soldier trains on a firing range.

4. Damon Winter. 1st Battalion, 87h Infantry, 10th Mountain Division. Done with an iPhone.

5. Kevin Frayer. May 2011. A USMC Cobra helicopter fires diversionary flares near FOB Edi in Helmand.

6. Anja Niedringhaus. June 2011. Lance Cpl. Blas Trevino of the US Marines arrives at Edi’s field hospital on a medevac chopper.

7. Tyler Hicks. Soldiers are dropped off by helicopters in Charbaran Valley.

8. Lynsey Addario. Medevacs for the 82nd Airborne pick up wounded soldiers in Helmand.

9. Chris Hondros. Badghis Province. Sgt. John Barton heads up to begin morning watch.

This is of course, far from comprehensive.
