The area of responsibility is largely Helmand and Nimruz provinces. The United States Marine Corps provides the majority of the force headquarters. It consists of Task Force Helmand of the British Armed Forces (including Denmark and Estonia) and Task Force Leatherneck of the United States Marine Corps.
