“Our brave pilots and committed officers will revive the Air Force,” said His Excellency, President Ghani, during a ceremony and airshow at the Afghan National Air Force base in Kabul, February 11th.
President Ghani reaffirmed the government's commitment to invest in educating a new generation of Afghan patriots. The exhibition featured aircraft from the AAF’s arsenal. Since last year, the Afghan Air Force has increased its mission capabilities in several areas, including aerial support, known as aerial fires, for ground troops. In 2014, 85 aerial support missions were conducted. In 2015, that number rose to 4,485. Among the aircraft shown, were the new A-29 light attack aircrafts, as well as several types of helicopters and transport planes.

Afghan forces are currently fighting the militants in the town of Marjah. U-S Special Forces have also been sent to the region. An American soldier was killed and two wounded in the battle. Helmand has been a traditional stronghold of the Taliban in the country. The huge opium harvest in the province is a major source of funding for the militants. The Taliban have seized swathes of territory in the Sangin district. The fighting prompted the first deployment of British troops to the volatile province in 14 months. The deployment of British and American forces comes a year after NATO troops officially ended their combat operations in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's most elite soldiers are taking the lead in fighting the Taliban as US and NATO prepares to pull back troops next year.
Al Jazeera is the first media organisation to be given access to the country's most elite Special Forces - the Crisis Response Units - to observe their effectiveness in action.
While the US and Afghan President Hamid Karzai argue over the future of a bilateral security agreement, which would see some foreign groups remain to train the country's army, there has been speculation over the Afghan forces' ability to take on the Taliban by themselves.
Al Jazeera's Jane Ferguson, who reported exclusively on this story from Parwan province, Afghanistan, said that there is a very real attempt to inject constitutional law in terms of tactics. She said that on every raid the forces made sure to bring a prosecutor with them to present a search warrant at every house they raided.
"It is a civil face on what they are doing, or at least an attempt to do that," Ferguson said, speaking from Kabul.
In our second report, which will air on Friday, Al Jazeera will explore the issue of training Afghan troops in technology and intelligence, and the challenges these elite fighters will face when NATO troops leave in 2014.

The Afghan National Army (ANA) is the main branch of the military of Afghanistan and is responsible for land-based military operations or ground warfare to defend the nation against foreign military incursions. It is under the Ministry of Defense in Kabul and is assembled by NATO states. The Kabul Military Training Center and the National Military Academy of Afghanistan serve as the main compounds for training the new army. The Afghan Defense University (ADF), after completion, will serve as the primary educational institution for the army as well as the Afghan Air Force. The ANA is divided into six regional Corps, with about 180,000 active troops as of December 2011. The current Chief of Staff of the Afghan National Army is Lt. Gen. Sher Mohammad Karimi.
Afghanistan's army traces its roots to the early 18th-century when the Hotaki dynasty was established in Kandahar followed by Ahmad Shah Durrani's rise to power. It was reorganized in 1880 during Emir Abdur Rahman Khan's reign. During World War I and World War II, Afghanistan remained a neutral state. From the 1960s to the early 1990s, the army of Afghanistan was equipped by the Soviet Union. By 1992, the national army fragmented into regional militias under various local warlords. This was followed by the Taliban government in the mid 1990s, which was minimally supported by the armed forces of Pakistan.

By the end of 2008 the six ANA commando battalions were to be stationed in the southern region of Afghanistan assisting the Canadian forces.
From mid-2011, the ANA began establishing a Special Operations Command (ANASOC) to control the ANA Commando Brigade and the ANA Special Forces. It is headquartered at Camp Moorehead in Wardak Province, located six miles south of Kabul The training center is named after 5th Special Forces Group soldier MSG Kevin Morehead, who was killed in Iraq in 2003.
In July 2012, the Special Operations Command was officially established as a division-sized special operations force formation, including a command and staff. The command, with the status of a division, now boasts between 10,000 and 11,000 soldiers.
Previously this was organised as one Brigade with 8 battalions all with a minimum of 6 kandalks. Due to the standard size of a brigade in the ANA, the ANASOC is likely to be split into 3 - 4 brigades, one of which will be a Special Forces Brigade.
ANASOC now has a Special Mission Wing which was inaugurated on 21 July 2012 at a ceremony in Kabul. The special Mission Wing will more its own Battalion in ANASOC

“Our brave pilots and committed officers will revive the Air Force,” said His Excellency, President Ghani, during a ceremony and airshow at the Afghan National Air Force base in Kabul, February 11th.
President Ghani reaffirmed the government's commitment to invest in educating a new generation of Afghan patriots. The exhibition featured aircraft from the AAF’s arsenal. Since last year, the Afghan Air Force has increased its mission capabilities in several areas, including aerial support, known as aerial fires, for ground troops. In 2014, 85 aerial support missions were conducted. In 2015, that number rose to 4,485. Among the aircraft shown, were the new A-29 light attack aircrafts, as well as several types of helicopters and transport planes.

Afghan forces are currently fighting the militants in the town of Marjah. U-S Special Forces have also been sent to the region. An American soldier was killed and two wounded in the battle. Helmand has been a traditional stronghold of the Taliban in the country. The huge opium harvest in the province is a major source of funding for the militants. The Taliban have seized swathes of territory in the Sangin district. The fighting prompted the first deployment of British troops to the volatile province in 14 months. The deployment of British and American forces comes a year after NATO troops officially ended their combat operations in Afghanistan.

Afghanistan's most elite soldiers are taking the lead in fighting the Taliban as US and NATO prepares to pull back troops next year.
Al Jazeera is the first media organisation to be given access to the country's most elite Special Forces - the Crisis Response Units - to observe their effectiveness in action.
While the US and Afghan President Hamid Karzai argue over the future of a bilateral security agreement, which would see some foreign groups remain to train the country's army, there has been speculation over the Afghan forces' ability to take on the Taliban by themselves.
Al Jazeera's Jane Ferguson, who reported exclusively on this story from Parwan province, Afghanistan, said that there is a very real attempt to inject constitutional law in terms of tactics. She said that on every raid the forces made sure to bring a prosecutor with them to present a search warrant at every house they raided.
"It is a civil face on what they are doing, or at least an attempt to do that," Ferguson said, speaking from Kabul.
In our second report, which will air on Friday, Al Jazeera will explore the issue of training Afghan troops in technology and intelligence, and the challenges these elite fighters will face when NATO troops leave in 2014.

He is killed when he runs outside (this happens off camera). Insurgents inside the house shoot the ANA soldier through holes in the front of the building.
