Afghanistan
Department of Defense Briefing for Foreign Journalists - November 4, 2015
2015-11-09
We continue though in Afghanistan, even though our primary missions is train, advise, and assist, we've actually retained a U.S.-only - this is actually not coalition, but it's a U.S.-only unilateral role of being able to conduct counterterrorism missions in Afghanistan primarily against al-Qaida and its remnants, but ISIS would be fair game as well.

What we're not doing counterterrorism operations against is the Taliban. We don't - we actually view the Taliban as being an important partner in a peaceful Afghan-led reconciliation process. We are not actively targeting the Taliban.
