ISAF, or the International Security Assistance Force, was a NATO-led security mission in Afghanistan established in December 2001. Its primary objective was to train Afghan security forces and assist in maintaining security and stability in the country following the fall of the Taliban regime. ISAF operated until December 2014, when it transitioned to a new mission called Resolute Support, focusing on training and advising Afghan forces. The mission involved contributions from numerous countries and aimed to support Afghanistan's reconstruction and development efforts.
ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) was a NATO-led mission focused on stabilizing and rebuilding Afghanistan after the fall of the Taliban in 2001. Its main objective was to train Afghan security forces and support the Afghan government. On the other hand, OEF (Operation Enduring Freedom) was initiated by the United States with the objective of combating terrorism, primarily targeting Al-Qaeda and its allies. While both missions were conducted in Afghanistan, their goals and strategies were different.
