The Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) were established to provide security and stability in Afghanistan. This force includes the Afghan National Army, the Afghan National Police, and other security units. Their primary mission was to protect the country from internal and external threats, ensuring the safety of its citizens. The ANDSF received training and support from various international partners, including NATO and the United States. Despite facing numerous challenges, such as limited resources and ongoing conflict, the ANDSF aimed to maintain law and order and uphold the sovereignty of Afghanistan.
