Mattis Upbeat on NATO Adding Troops to Afghanistan
(Last Updated On: October 24, 2022)
“Right now, I’d say there’s somewhere approximately two-dozen NATO allies and partner countries that are leaning towards raising the number of troops, now that’s out of 39 total countries on the battlefield, so it’s a little over two dozen,” Mattis told reporters at the Pentagon.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said on 7 November that the alliance plans to add about 3,000 troops to its ‘Resolute Support Mission’ in Afghanistan, half from the United States and half from other members.
