Mission
ISAF MISSION
ISAF, in partnership with the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan
(GIRoA), conducts population-centric counterinsurgency (COIN) operations, enables
expanded and effective Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), and supports
improved governance and socio-economic development in order to protect the Afghan
people and provide a secure environment for sustainable stability.
Mission
RESOLUTE SUPPORT MISSION
“In six months’ time, our ISAF combat mission will be completed. Afghan troops and police will
be fully responsible for security across the country. Our goal is to launch a new mission to train,
advise and assist the Afghan security forces from the start of next year. Today, we endorsed the
detailed operational plan for that new mission, called Resolute Support.”
NATO Secretary General, Anders Fogh Rasmussen
