The ongoing success of MRTF - 1
Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force - 1 commenced operations in Afghanistan in October this year. As part of the ongoing stabilisation and rehabilitation of Afghanistan, the Mentoring and Reconstruction Task Force 1 (MRTF - 1) is continuing the ongoing success of reconstruction, and in addition is providing training and mentoring support to the Afghan National Army.
MRTF - 1 continues to work on schools, health and Afghan Government facilities throughout the region. MRTF - 1 engineers are also engaged in the winterisation of patrol bases throughout the province in order to better protect personnel during Afghanistan's harsh winters.
Australia's contribution to Afghanistan is among the tenth largest of the 40 contributing nations and the largest of any non-NATO contributing nations.
