war in afghanistan
the war in afghanistan (or the u.s. war in afghanistan or the afghanistan war), code named operation enduring freedom (2001–14) and operation freedom's sentinel (2015–present), followed the united states invasion of afghanistan of 7 october 2001, when the u.s. and allies successfully drove out the taliban from power in order to dismantle al-qaeda and to deny it a safe base of operations in afghanistan. since the initial objectives were completed, a coalition of over 40 countries (including all nato members) formed a security mission in the country. the war has since mostly involved u.s. and allied afghan government troops battling taliban insurgents. the war in afghanistan is the longest war in u.s. history, having overtaken the u.s. participation in the vietnam war in 2010.
