The NATO-led peacekeeping force in Afghanistan is assisting the Afghan Minister of Defence in coordinating the destruction of a large quantity of Afghan National Army ammunition on 16 October.
The assistance is part of ISAF s continuing role in helping to provide a stable and secure environment in Kabul and its surrounding area.
This is the first time that ISAF has assisted in destroying ammunition. The ammunition was originally stored in the Pol-e-Charki Ammunition Storage Site, as part of Afghan National Army s ammunition stockpile.
Possible expansion of ISAF
NATO took over the leadership of ISAF on 11 August, in what is the Alliance s first mission outside the Euro-Atlantic area.
The current mandate limits the 5,500-strong force to operations in Kabul and the surrounding areas. On 14 October, the UN Security Council adopted a resolution authorising the expansion of ISAF s operations. Now that NATO exercises the leadership of ISAF, a decision by the North Atlantic Council, the Alliance s highest decision-making body, will be needed for any expansion.
NATO is currently examining military options for expanding the force.
