Afghanistan ISAF
From 08/12/2009 to 31/12/2014
In August 2003, NATO assumed command of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) with the primary objective of enabling the Afghan government to provide effective security across the country and develop new Afghan security forces, ensuring that Afghanistan would never again become a safe haven for terrorists. In 2009, the NATO Training Mission – Afghanistan (NTM-A) was established within the ISAF framework to complement the existing programs aimed at training and developing capable, self-sustainable Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and a professional Afghan National Police (ANP).
EUROGENDFOR’s involvement in Afghanistan began in December 2009, focusing primarily on the development of the ANP. To accomplish this, EUROGENDFOR provided experts within the NTM-A command structure, trained and mentored the ANP, and contributed to developing pre-deployment training requirements and standards for Police Operational Mentor and Liaison Teams (POMLTs). EUROGENDFOR’s deployment peaked at over 400 officers in May 2011.
