TheInternational Security Assistance Force(ISAF) was aNATO-led security mission inAfghanistan, established by theUnited Nations Security Councilin December 2001 byResolution 1386, as envisaged by theBonn Agreement. Its main purpose was to train theAfghan National Security Forces(ANSF) and assist Afghanistan in rebuilding key government institutions, but was also engaged in the2001–present warwith theTaliban insurgency. ISAF was initially charged with securingKabuland the surrounding areas from theTaliban,al Qaedaand factional warlords, to allow for the establishment of theAfghan Transitional Administrationheaded byHamid 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.[6]From 2006 to 2011, ISAF had become increasingly involved in more intensive combat operations in southern and eastern Afghanistan. Troop contributors included theUnited States,United Kingdom, otherNATO member statesand a number ofother countries. The intensity of the combat faced by contributing nations varied greatly, with the United States sustaining the most total casualties, but with other contributors, especially the United Kingdom,Canada, andDenmark, sustaining more casualties relative to their population size. In early 2010, there were at least 700 military bases inside Afghanistan. About 400 of these were used by American‑led NATO forces and 300 by ANSF. ISAF ceased combat operations and was disbanded in December 2014, with some troops remaining behind in an advisory role as part of ISAF's successor organization, theResolute Support Mission.

The Afghan National Army Special Forces (ANASF) falls under the command of theAfghan National Army Special Operations Command(ANASOC) which is part of the Ministry of Defense (MoD).

CJSOTF-A. The Combined Joint Special Operations Task Force - Afghanistan was been the primary trainer of the Afghan National Army Special Forces. At first, the CJSOTF-A was training the Afghan Army Commandos; but later decided to develop an Afghan Special Forces unit as well. The CJSOTF-A has since been replaced with a SOTF due to the drawdown of U.S. forces from Afghanistan.During the Commando training the Soldiers learn advanced combat marksmanship, small unit tactics, demolitions, direct action, cordon and search, search and attack missions, ambush, and leadership skills.

Organization and Size of the ANASF. The original intent was to form and train an Afghan Special Forces Group. It was planned to be about 72 Special Forces teams with about fifteen members on each team. Of course there would be additional members who would serve in command, staff, and support roles. As of December 2011 there were over 1,000 ANASF Soldiers. Later these ANASF units were merged into the nine Command kandaks (battalions) and the Commando battalions were renamed Special Operations Kandaks or SOKs. Two Special Operations Brigades were then formed for command and contol of the kandaks..
