Talk:Resolute Support Mission

Participants

Is there any official list of the countries which have confirmed their participation in the mission? To the best of my knowledge, the US., British, German, Italian, and Georgian troops are already deployed as part of the RSM. --Kober^Talk 09:59, 3 January 2015 (UTC)

Train Advise Assist Commands

Since a number of the former Regional Commands have been turned into Train Advise Assist Commands would it be best if new articles were created or the old one's renamed? Gavbadger (talk) 18:58, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

All the Regional Commands have been turned into TAACs. They all need to be renamed, because they are redesignations, in accordance with MILUNIT. I've done Capital. Buckshot06 (talk) 19:01, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

Thanks, wouldn't it look better if they were styled "Train Advise Assist Command - Capital" instead of "Train Advise Assist Command Capital"? Gavbadger (talk) 19:04, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

We follow the sources, otherwise we create things that only exist inside of Wikipedia. I've never seen any dashes. Actually possibly the pages ought to be at TAAC xxx, rather than the full version (COMMONNAME). Buckshot06 (talk) 04:27, 18 February 2015 (UTC)

"non-combat troops"

Now that American forces have an explicitly combat mission, can we own up to reality and change this? Juno (talk) 13:52, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

They have always had a combat mission (the Task Force component of the force). WP:BOLD - go for it! Buckshot06 (talk) 18:47, 20 October 2015 (UTC)

Very Unlikely there are 233 Mongolian Troops or a 121 Armenian Troops in Afghanistan currently

There was a nytimes article that tacitly confirmed that the only troops that were in afghanistan as of June 29, 2021, were US Troops, Turkish Troops and British Troops. see: https://www.nytimes.com/2021/06/29/world/asia/afghanistan-civil-war-miller.html

"Speaking from a garden adjacent to the circle of flagpoles that once displayed the flags of the 36 countries that contributed to the U.S.-led NATO mission — now reduced to Turkey, Britain and the United States — General Miller said the troop withdrawal was reaching a point where he would soon end his command, which began in September 2018, and in turn, say goodbye to Afghanistan."

from what it sounds like all these smaller countries withdrew a long time ago, but that their presence wasn't as big compared to other NATO states, that they never really got coverage regarding withdrawal. Particularly in English media, a story about mongolia or these other small country troops leaving may not have been covered when they left. I think its reasonable to edit the Contributing nations section and put them down as withdrawn. Midgetman433 (talk) 19:15, 4 July 2021 (UTC)
