ANSF (Afghan National Security Forces)

The Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) are Afghanistan’s military and police agencies responsible for national defense, security, and law enforcement. Comprising the Afghan Army and Police, they work to protect the country's sovereignty, maintain internal stability, and combat threats like insurgent groups. The ANSF was trained and supported primarily by international allies, especially the United States and NATO, to help Afghanistan become self-reliant in ensuring its security. Their role is crucial in maintaining peace and order, preventing violence, and upholding government authority across the nation.
