Slovak soldiers will continue to operate in Afghanistan. They will join a new non-combat NATO mission, called Operation Resolute Support (ORS). The SVK government approved the mandate for deployment of up to 66 SVK Armed Forces members to Afghanistan on 10 December. Under the new scheme, the SVK contingent will commence operations in ORS as of 1 January 2015. The mandate is still to be approved by the Slovak Republic National Council.
“We have always acted as a responsible member of the North Atlantic Alliance. At the Wales Summit, we made an official statement on our contribution to the new mission, as we remain committed to working towards the stabilization of Afghanistan,” said SVK Minister of Defence Martin Glváč.
On 28 November 2014, the North Atlantic Council made a decision to launch Operation Resolute Support. Being a non-combat mission, ORS is geared towards training, advising and assisting the Afghan National Security Forces. Once approved by the Slovak Republic National Council, the SVK contribution will be comprised of Special Operations Forces (SOFs), HQ military staff, ROLE 1 and 2 medical facilities, National Support Element, and Deployable Communication and Information Systems Module (DCM-C).
