Denmark

The Danes deployed a 100-strong force from the Army Jaegerkorpset (Hunter Corps) and Navy Fromandskorpset (Frogman Corps) in December 2001. They primarily carried out SR tasks for TF K-Bar, including designating targets; however, they were also involved in the seizure of Taliban Mullah Khairullah Kahirkhawa, whose vehicle convoy was ambushed by heliborne Danish SOF and SEALs in February 2002.

France

It is rumoured that assets of the French Commandement des Opérations Spéciales were deployed before the fall of the Taliban, although the secrecy surrounding French special forces makes the UK seem positively open. It is known that 50 COS operators deployed in 2001, and 150 later deployed to replace the Italian ISAF SOF contingent in 2003, primarily conducting reconnaissance and close protection tasks. It is also known that French COS have cooperated with K-Bar elements in the south and have incurred a number of casualties.
