ASFF

The Afghanistan Security Forces Fund was a congressionally appropriated fund that supported training, equipping, and sustaining Afghan military and police forces. ASFF contracts provided equipment, training services, logistics support, and infrastructure development for Afghan security capacity building.

While ASFF-specific contracting has wound down following U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, it exemplifies security cooperation funding that supports partner nation capacity building. Similar funding mechanisms support security assistance programs globally. Understanding security cooperation contracting helps contractors pursue international defense opportunities.
