in Iraq.

Norway is a symbolic bit player for the U.S. in both Iraq and Afghanistan

from CENTCOM: Norway has been supporting the operations in AFGHANISTAN and IRAQ in several ways since September 11, 2001.

Norwegian SOF, Mine Clearers, EOD-teams, C-130 for Tactical Airlift, MOVCON, F-16’s for Close Air Support, CIMIC-teams and a Surgical Unit have over the past years completed missions in and around AFGHANISTAN in either Operation Enduring Freedom or in ISAF. Since December 2003 NORWAY has deployed forces to AFGHANISTAN as a part of ISAF Security Forces in KABUL and recently to the British PRT in MEYMANEH.

In Iraq Norway has supported the reconstruction of the country with an Engineer Coy and Staff Officers in MND SE and MND CS.

In cooperation with our coalition partners Norway is continuously evaluating and subsequently adjusting the contribution according to the Coalitions needs, Norway ’s available resources and her Governments security interests.
