The Special Operations Joint Task Force (SOJTF) Afghanistan 3 is a U.S. Army unit primarily deployed to support and advise Afghan National Security Forces in their counter-insurgency efforts. It falls under the umbrella of the U.S. Central Command and is part of the broader coalition mission in Afghanistan. The SOJTF’s main role involves conducting special operations, such as direct action, foreign internal defense, information operations, and counterterrorism activities, to assist local forces in maintaining security and stability within the country. The task force comprises various branches of the U.S. military, including Army Green Berets, Navy SEALs, and Air Force Special Tactics teams, among others. Operations are typically conducted with Afghan partner units in a joint, combined-arms effort to achieve mission objectives. This task force, like all U.S. military deployments, is subject to the laws of armed conflict and adheres to the principles of ethical conduct and respect for human rights.
