Question

Afganistan

sorry arnold

Answer 1

NATO is already there, under the name ISAF (Internal Security Assistance Force). NATO is made up of 26 countries; Belgium, Bulgaria, Canada, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Turkey, United Kingdom, and the United States.
Australia is not part of NATO.

If you look the U.S. is the largest country, so it is just natural that the U.S. will have the largest number of troops. If the NATO mandate is for a country to provide 5% of their troops for a NATO mission, well then the U.S. is going to be providing a bit more troops since out military is larger. Also, officially NATO has no troops, just like the UN, the troops are provided by each member country, but still not technically NATO troops.

Here's the ISAF mission in Afghanistan:
Through the UN-mandated International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) NATO is assisting the Afghan Government in extending and exercising its authority and influence across the country, creating the conditions for stabilisation and reconstruction.

On 5 October 2006, in another landmark step for NATO, NATO-ISAF took command of the international military forces in eastern Afghanistan from the US-led Coalition. Now, some 35,000 NATO-led forces are providing support to the Afghan authorities throughout the country, with the aim of boosting efforts to provide reconstruction and development.

The Alliance’s mission now covers the whole of Afghanistan. NATO is leading some 35,000 troops from 37 countries and 25 Provincial Reconstruction Teams (PRTs). This is NATO’s first and largest ground operation outside Europe.

What does this mean in practice?
ISAF’s key military tasks include assisting the Afghan government in extending its authority across the country, conducting stability and security operations in co-ordination with the Afghan national security forces; mentoring and supporting the Afghan national army; and supporting Afghan government programmes to disarm illegally armed groups.

Who is in charge?
The political direction and co-ordination for the mission is provided by NATO's principal decision-making body, the North Atlantic Council. Based on the political guidance from the Council, strategic command and control is exercised by NATO's top operational headquarters, Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers in Europe (SHAPE) in Mons, Belgium.

How did this operation evolve?
ISAF was created in accordance with the Bonn Conference, in December 2001, after the ousting of the Taliban regime. Afghan opposition leaders attending the conference began the process of reconstructing their country, by setting up a new government structure, namely the Afghan Transitional Authority.

Answer 2

US troops are NATO troops but if they agreed to take over the entire country instead of 3/4, feel free. You can see what happened in the South when NATO took control. If they take over the East the same thing will happen.

Answer 3

Can we swap Russian forces for NATO forces. NATO play games in Poland and Russia do it for real in Syria. NOTO is practising dropping arms to Isis maybe.

Answer 4

NATO is 80% American forces...Almost 100% military hardware is American as well....Perhaps America should leave NATO and you idiots can run the show. Good luck..lol

Answer 5

Yeah, although Canada wasn't part of the "coalition of the willing" we sent more troops to Afghanistan (the real War on Terror which we've been fighting from the beginning) to relieve US troops for Iraq. (Then your pep-pill-popping Air National Guard bombed our training ground, sigh.)

Answer 6

USA troops are NATO troops, and NATO troops are already there. ie france, UK, australia, canada, usa, and more

Answer 7

what would nato have to gain by going there?

Answer 8

NATO is mostly US troops, or haven't you noticed that?

Answer 9

You started it so you finish it!
