The KPRT consists of Canadian Forces members, a civilian police contingent led by the RCMP, Correctional Services Canada, representatives of the Department of Foreign Affairs and International Trade and the Canadian International Development Agency. The KPRT conducts coordinated interdepartmental operations to promote good governance, assists the Government of Afghanistan in extending its authority in the province of Kandahar, and facilitates the development of a stable, secure and self-sustaining environment for the people of Afghanistan.
Joint Task Force (Afghanistan), Rotation 4, is comprised of 2,500 Canadian Forces personnel drawn mainly from elements of the 5th Canadian Mechanized Brigade-Group in Valcartier, Quebec. The Force, lead by Brigadier-General Guy Laroche, is serving in the Province of Kandahar, Afghanistan, as part of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Canadian soldiers play a key role in the NATO-led mission whose goal is to improve the security situation in Afghanistan and assist in rebuilding the country.
Canada is in Afghanistan at the request of the United Nations on behalf of the democratically elected Afghan government, alongside with 36 other nations. This UN-sanctioned mission mandated the NATO to help building a stable, democratic, and self-sufficient society in Afghanistan.
