As the Taliban advance in Afghanistan, more and more foreign soldiers are leaving the country. Now NATO has also ended its military operation – quietly and quietly.
NATO quietly ended its military operation in Afghanistan after almost two decades.
As the German Press Agency in Brussels has been confirmed by several diplomats and the military, the soldiers currently stationed in the country from countries such as the USA and Turkey are now completely under the leadership of the national chains of command. The alliance’s bloodiest military operation to date is de facto history, it said. The American armed forces alone lost more than 2,300 soldiers in the Hindu Kush. The Bundeswehr complained about 59 victims.
The NATO operation in the Hindu Kush began after the attacks of September 11, 2001 at the request of the USA in order to put an end to the terrorism emanating from Afghanistan. From August 2003 to December 2014, the alliance led the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in the country. At peak times, this consisted of more than 130,000 soldiers. She was also often involved in fighting the Afghan government troops against the militant Islamist Taliban.
In 2015, the “Resolute Support” mission followed for training, advising and supporting the national security forces in Afghanistan.
According to information from the German Press Agency, the fact that the end of the military operation has not yet been officially communicated has to do with the fact that the operation plan has not yet been formally overridden – especially for administrative reasons.
Another reason is that the US national mission is still ongoing. US President Joe Biden had last announced a termination by the end of August. The United States always had numerous soldiers stationed in the country who were not part of NATO operations. This enabled them to provide the Afghan armed forces with military support that would not have been possible under the NATO mandate.
