Australia to send 30 more military advisers to Afghanistan
2017-05-30
[Ynet] Australia announced on Monday it would send an additional 30 military advisers to train Afghan troops and expected other countries to increase their contributions to the restive Central Asian country.

Defense Minister Marise Payne said the increase was requested by NATO
...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A collection of multinational and multilingual and multicultural armed forces, all of differing capabilities, working toward a common goal by pulling in different directions...
and supported by the United States. It would bring Australia's commitment in Afghanistan to 300 military personnel in non-combat roles.

"Their role will be to continue in the train, advise and assist roles," Payne told a Senate committee.

"We expect other partners to also enhance their contribution to the Resolute Support Mission," she added.
