Britain will keep boots on the ground in Afghanistan with special forces set to stay
British Special Forces are being lined up to remain in Afghanistan after soldiers withdraw, The Telegraph can reveal.
Boris Johnson is expected to make a final decision on Monday at a meeting of the National Security Council.
However, one former SAS soldier who was recently in Afghanistan told this newspaper that the decision was as good as done and a small number of troops will remain in the country as an “advisory group”.
He added the role of the SAS in Afghanistan will be to “provide training to Afghan units and deploy with them on the ground as advisors”.
