Resolute Support Mission

The Resolute Support Mission was a NATO-led effort in Afghanistan from 2015 to 2021 aimed at helping Afghan security forces build sustainable, professional military and police institutions. Its focus was on training, advising, and mentoring Afghan personnel to ensure they could maintain security and stability independently. The mission did not involve combat operations but supported Afghanistan’s government in strengthening its defense capabilities, promoting peace, and preventing insurgent groups from regaining power. Overall, it aimed to assist Afghanistan in achieving long-term stability through capacity building and cooperation.
