Yes, the United States formally declared war in Afghanistan on October 7, 2001, following the September 11 terrorist attacks. This military action was part of Operation Enduring Freedom, aimed at dismantling al-Qaeda and removing the Taliban regime that was harboring them. Although Congress authorized the use of military force, there was no formal declaration of war as traditionally defined. The conflict continued for nearly two decades until the U.S. withdrawal in August 2021.
