In November 2009, Georgia participated in the ISAF mission with almost 200 soldiers in Kabul in the Camp Warehouse under French command and in the Lithuanian PRT in the city of Chaghcharan . As of April 2010, the number of Georgian soldiers rose to over 900 soldiers, as around 750 soldiers were relocated to Helmand Province under US command , with the commitment in 2012 to station more soldiers in a battalion in Afghanistan. The Georgian soldiers had been involved in several combat missions.
