iStock/Thinkstock(WASHINGTON) — State Department Press Office Director Jeff Rathke says that after 2014, the United States will work on two “narrow missions” in Afghanistan.
Rathke said, “The United States and NATO will transition to a non-combat mission of training, advising and assisting the Afghan National Security Forces — that’s the first. And second, the United States will continue to maintain a counter-terrorism capability in Afghanistan.”
Most Western combat troops are set to leave Afghanistan by the end of this year.
