The Mongolian Expeditionary Task Force Seven has arrived at the New Kabul Compound and relieved Mongolian Expeditionary Task Force Six, following the latter's successful six-month deployment. During the hand-over ceremony, U.K. Army Brigadier Simon Humphrey, who is the Kabul Security Force commander highlighted the crucial importance of Mongolia’s participation.

Although the Kabul Security Force is officially comprised of six nations, including the United States, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Australia, Finland and New Zealand, Mongolia is a key contributor.

Mongolia began to contribute troops in 2010 when it deployed an infantry platoon to the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), Regional Command-North. In addition to the Mongolian Expeditionary Task Force, its current contributions to the Resolute Support mission include infantry, artillery and air mentors, and trainers to the Afghan security forces.
