This is a list of North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) installations in Afghanistan used during the War in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021. This list encompasses installations used by the International Security Assistance Force from 2001 to 2014 and by the Resolute Support Mission afterwards. Included are airbases, forward operating bases, main operating bases, combat outposts, firebases, and patrol bases used by NATO forces across the six regional commands (renamed Train Advise Assist Commands after 2014): Regional Command Capital, Regional Command East, Regional Command North, Regional Command South, Regional Command Southwest, and Regional Command West.
History After 30 September 2013, there were only five sites used by the United Kingdom in Helmand Province including Camp Bastion (the main British base, closed 26 October 2014), MOB Price, MOB Lashkar Gah, PB Lashkar Gah Durai and OP Sterga 2 (last base outside Bastion, closed May 2014). After July 2021, all bases outside of Kabul were closed or transferred to the Afghan government. Some military infrastructure remained in Kabul to secure the U.S. embassy, the international zone, and Hamid Karzai International Airport.
Regional Command Capital Regional Command Capital includes the province of Kabul and was headquartered at Camp KAIA.
