Hi guys Please note I've reorganised the page to match the operational chain of command more. Comments and suggestions for reversions/changes are very welcome - what do people think? Cheers Buckshot06 03:42, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

• Hi Buckshot. The article looks very good with much information to find. Rob van Doorn 22:18, 26 October 2006 (UTC). With some others I'm trying to keep the ISAF article up to date. Did you already take a look at it?

Contents 1 Belgium and Luxemburg 2 Czech Republic 3 Germany 4 Involvement of Iran? 5 Separate order of battles.

[edit] Belgium and Luxemburg

The official website of BELU-ISAF 12 (In Dutch and French): http://www.mil.be/isaf/index.asp?LAN=nl (The Belgium army is assisting the PRTs at the north of Afghanistan.)

[edit] Czech Republic

The information about the Chech republic which I already used at the ISAF-article, and two links as reference. Maybe something can be used at this article? Regards: Rob van Doorn 17:27, 21 November 2006 (UTC)

Czech Republic - At the start of the Czech contribution 17. By June 2006 there were 100 Czech soldiers in two Czech operations. At the airport of Kabul is a Czech ACR contingent deployed. The task of the ACR contingent - the EOD (Explosive Ordnance Detachment) - is, first, the keeping minefield awareness and anti-explosives protection of the KAIA International Airport in Kabul, and, second, the contribution of the Czech personnel to air traffic weather service. The Number of Czech military personnel on this operation is 17 (to 1 June 2006).

The Czech 102nd Reconnaissance Battalion have been part of a provincial reconstruction team at Fayzabad, Badakshan province, since 9 March 2005. Their task is to support security in the area, to protect international units, and to cooperate with local people in reconstruction of their homeland. Czech scouts are assigned to the team of about 200 soldiers together with Danes and soldiers of the German Bundeswehr. The number of Czech military personnel on this operation is 83 (to 1 june 2006). [4]

The number of troops is expected to rise to 150 by the end of the year when the Czechs take command of Kabul's airport. At the end of September 2006, the Czech Republic's defense ministry said, it plans to contribute up to 190 troops to the force next year. The move still must be approved by the government and parliament. [5]

[edit] Germany

The German contribution to ISAF (3,000 soldiers) is operating in the North of Afghanistan. The mandate of their government does not allow them to take part in the battle against the Taliban insurgency in the East and South of Aghanistan. This leads to friction between NATO-members. Other NATO countries are asking Germany to reinforce NATO-ISAF in the South. (Source for the German involvement: http://www.einsatz.bundeswehr.de/C1256F1D0022A5C2/CurrentBaseLink/W265HK9Y385INFODE (about ISAF), http://www.einsatz.bundeswehr.de/C1256F1D0022A5C2/CurrentBaseLink/W265HJYE901INFODE (about Enduring Freedom). The sites are in German.

[edit] Involvement of Iran?

For me, as an observer, I was reading something unexpected:

Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, meanwhile, called Sunday (September, 26, 2006) for the people of Afghanistan to join forces in driving out foreign "occupiers". http://www.afghannews.net/index.php?action=show&type=news&id=1487

[edit] Separate order of battles.

As this is about the current order of battle, and will no doubt change in 2007, there are other articles for other order of battles.

Operation Enduring Freedom - Afghanistan: Allies for US and coalition forces and other forms of support for Operation Enduring Freedom from October 2001 to 2003.

For coalition forces involved in NATO combat operations in southern Afghanistan in 2006, the article Coalition combat operations in Afghanistan in 2006. And the article International Security Assistance Force for coalition forces in Afghanistan as part of ISAF. Chwyatt 14:59, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
