Operation Resolute Support

Operation Resolute Support was a NATO-led mission in Afghanistan focused on training, advising, and assisting Afghan security forces from 2015 to 2021. Its goal was to strengthen the Afghan military and police so they could independently maintain security and stability, reducing reliance on international and U.S. forces. The operation involved military personnel, diplomats, and experts working closely with Afghan partners to improve their capabilities, governance, and coordination, aiming to create a sustainable security environment. It was part of efforts to support Afghanistan’s political stability while transitioning security responsibilities entirely to Afghan authorities.
