February 16, 2023

The Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), also known as the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF), were the military and internal security forces of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan.[1][2]

Structure

The Afghan National Security Forces consisted of:

NATO special operations forces trained, advised and assisted the ANASOC, SMW and GCPSU who were collectively known as the Afghan Special Security Forces (ASSF).[19][20][21] The ASSF was described as the "ANDSF’s primary offensive forces".[21]

The National Directorate of Security (NDS) was the state intelligence and security service and was part of the ANSF.[22][23] The NDS reported directly to the Office of President.[24]
