Slovakia to Advise Mobile Strike Force (MSF)

57 more troops from Slovakia arrived in January 2014 to bolster the Afghanistan mission. Most of the soldiers will work in a Security Force Assistance role as advisors. Some of the 57 will be assigned to the Special Operation Advisory Group (SOAG) and the remainder will form a Mobile Strike Force Security Forces Advisory Team (MSF SFAT). The MSF SFAT will provide advice and assistance to the Mobile Strike Force - a rapid deployment quick reaction force comprised of two brigades and several kandaks. In addition, a five-man medical team will work at the international military hospital at the Kabul airport.
