3. Um...does Afghanistan count, Ricky?

French forces in Afghanistan have been involved in the ongoing War in Afghanistan since late 2001. They operate within two distinct frameworks:
the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF), carried out by NATO on a United Nations mandate
"Operation Enduring Freedom", under US command, as part of the so-called "War on Terror".

French forces have contributed to both chapters in several national operations:
Opération Pamir with the ISAF,
Opération Héraklès for the naval and air components
Opération Épidote for training of the Afghan Army
Opération Arès for special operations within "Operation Enduring Freedom"

As of 1 November 2009, 4,000 French personnel were deployed in Afghanistan, including the air support of Combined Task Force 150 in the Indian Ocean. Furthermore, 150 gendarmes were deployed in late 2009.

Operations in 2009 alone cost 450 million Euros, amounting to over half the 870 million Euros devoted to military operations abroad. 82 men have been killed.
