Australia's military involvement in Afghanistan since 2001

After the terrorist attacks against the United States (US) on 11 September 2001, Australia joined the US-led International Coalition against Terrorism (the Coalition) by committing military assets and personnel to Coalition operations in Afghanistan, the US-led action is known as Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF-A). While this chronology aims to provide a comprehensive view of Australia's military commitment in Afghanistan including, where possible, the individual ADF units deployed as part of Operation Slipper,it should be noted that each personnel deployment is not necessarily reported publicly via official channels and some details are not in the public domain. It is also important to note that the nature of military operations is fairly dynamic; personnel figures can alter daily due to continuous insertion and extraction activities.
