Abstract
One of the most important areas for the expansion of NATO operations was the mission in Afghanistan. This incident saved NATO from an unrivaled vacuum, and in fact, from that date on, the threat of terrorism replaced the Soviet threat to NATO. After this incident, NATO became a trans-regional organization. From that date on, NATO not only pursued global missions for itself, but also sought to gain global legitimacy by seeking direct legitimacy through direct cooperation with the United Nations in the counter-terrorism project in Afghanistan. NATO has made the fight against terrorism and insecurity in Afghanistan a priority. The mission was aimed at creating relative stability and security in Afghanistan. Initially, NATO's mission included providing security around Kabul, but in the short term, the need for relative calm and stability throughout Afghanistan expanded the scope of NATO's activities to all. Expand the place of Afghanistan. But NATO faced major and profound challenges in achieving its goals in Afghanistan. Some of these challenges were related to the inherent characteristics of society and the country and the land of Afghanistan, and others arose from within NATO itself. In general, NATO has faced major challenges in Afghanistan since its inception. In its first experience of leaving its traditional region, the organization faced a number of challenges that required major changes in NATO's command system and organization.
