Modularity and Perspectives of Command and Control of Contingent Army of the Czech Republic during the Operation in Afghanistan
Abstract
After September 11 2001 the USA together with the allies started military operations in Afghanistan in order to rid the country of the significant influence of the Taliban movement, capture the top representatives of al Qaeda, and hopefully stabilise the country so that it will not work as a terrorist base. In 2003, on the basis of agreement, NATO took responsibility for the ISAF (International Security Assistance Force) operation Afghanistan. The aim of the ISAF operation under NATO command is to assist the Afghan government in the establishment of secure and stable environment in order to enable Afghanistan become a sovereign and independent country firmly controlling its own territory. ISAF mandate is determined by the UN Security Council Resolution number 1386 from 2001, which empowered the ISAF forces to help Afghan authorities maintain security. The ISAF's areas of operation have been changing; gradually extending from Kabul to the north and west of the country, and, in 2006, to the south and the east. The Alliance took responsibility for the entire Afghan territory by extending the ISAF's field of activity to the last - eastern part of the country. Due to both the Afghan territory situation development and the USA and international community attitude changes towards the solution of this situation, the Afghanistan Compact (AC) document was accepted in 2006 as a guideline for further steps in political, economical, and social reconstruction of Afghanistan.
