The Afghan National Army Commando Corps (formerly ANA Commando Brigade;[5] ANA Commando Battalion[4]) was a commando force of the Afghan National Army (ANA). During the Taliban insurgency, the commandos comprised 7% of the Afghan National Security Forces but conducted 70% to 80% of the fighting.[6] The structure of the unit was based on the U.S. Army's 75th Ranger Regiment.[7]
Upon the fall of Kabul and the collapse of both the ANA and Islamic Republic of Afghanistan in August 2021, the Commando Corps was dissolved.
