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.
