The U.S.-Led Campaign to Overthrow the Taliban and Combat Terrorism in Afghanistan

In response to the 9/11 attacks, the United States launched Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan. The mission aimed to dismantle terrorist organizations, including Al-Qaeda, and remove the Taliban from power. The Taliban had been providing safe haven to Al-Qaeda and its leader, Osama bin Laden. The US-led coalition, including NATO allies, conducted airstrikes and deployed ground forces to target terrorist strongholds and disrupt their operations. Special Operations Forces worked alongside Afghan militias to overthrow the Taliban regime and root out terrorist networks. Operation Enduring Freedom resulted in the removal of the Taliban from power and the establishment of a new Afghan government. It also led to the capture of many high-ranking Al-Qaeda leaders, including bin Laden. The impact of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan was profound, shaping the country's political landscape and security situation for years to come. It marked the beginning of a long and complex conflict that would evolve into a protracted military campaign and nation-building effort. #OperationEnduringFreedom #AfghanistanConflict #WarOnTerror
