Combined Joint Task Force Paladin ("CJTF Paladin") was the International Security Assistance Force command responsible for counter-IED efforts and Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) during the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021).[1] With military and civilian personnel spread across the entire country, CJTF Paladin provided EOD Technicians, counter-IED trainers, intelligence personnel, and forensics labs to the ISAF Regional Commands.
CJTF Paladin was established in 2005 to focus Counter-IED efforts due to the rising trend of improvised explosive devices during the conflict. During the draw-down of troops and the end of the combat mission for NATO forces, CJTF Paladin was deactivated in December 2013, passing responsibility for all counter-IED operations to the ISAF Joint Command (IJC) Counter IED division. Tactical operations continued to be tasked to the 242nd Ordnance Battalion (EOD) who were enhanced with additional EOD personnel and placed under the operational control of the IJC C-IED division.
Its counterpart in the Iraq War was Task Force Troy.[2]
