Operación Enduring Freedom

Operación Enduring Freedom was the name for the U.S. military campaign launched in 2001 to dismantle terrorist groups like al-Qaeda and remove the Taliban from power in Afghanistan. It aimed to eliminate threats to global security following the September 11 attacks. The operation involved military combat, counter-terrorism efforts, and nation-building activities, and marked a significant shift in U.S. foreign policy toward proactive security measures. It lasted many years, evolving in scope and strategy, with the goal of creating a safer environment and preventing future terrorist attacks.
