Afghanistan
(asked on 30th October 2014) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many (a) military personnel and (b) UK personnel there will be in the NATO training, advice and assistance mission in Afghanistan in 2015.
This question was answered on 10th November 2014
The recent signature of the US/Afghan Bilateral Security Agreement and NATO Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA) by the Afghan Government opened a new chapter for cooperation between Afghanistan and the international community. The SOFA provides the legal basis for the NATO follow-on mission to train, advise and assist the Afghan security forces from 2015.
We would expect to contribute a few hundred military personnel.
