ISAF may refer to:
The International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) was a NATO-led security mission in Afghanistan, established by the United Nations Security Council in December 2001 by Resolution 1386, as envisaged by the Bonn Agreement. Its main purpose was to train the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) and assist Afghanistan in rebuilding key government institutions, but was also engaged in the 2001–present war with the Taliban insurgency.
ISAF was initially charged with securing Kabul and the surrounding areas from the Taliban, al Qaeda and factional warlords, to allow for the establishment of the Afghan Transitional Administration headed by Hamid Karzai. In October 2003, the UN Security Council authorized the expansion of the ISAF mission throughout Afghanistan, and ISAF subsequently expanded the mission in four main stages over the whole of the country. From 2006 to 2011, ISAF had become increasingly involved in more intensive combat operations in southern and eastern Afghanistan.
During Operation Shamali Kamarband, Marines and ISAF trained Afghan National Security Forces. Cpl. Timothy Solano tells us more.
On December 20, 2001, the United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1386 authorized the establishment of an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) for Afghanistan, responding to the request of Afghan authorities on December 14, 2001.1 ISAF’s initial role was to support the Afghan Interim Authority by maintaining security in and around Kabul. ISAF’s newly-fashioned force was fielded from eighteen different countries contributing troops and other required assets, under the command authority of the United Kingdom. In October 2003, ISAF received a new mandate, provided for by UNSCR 1510, to expand its area of responsibility beyond Kabul and its environs.
