How did the US military interact with Afghanistans military forces during the war in Afghanistan?

During the war in Afghanistan, the US Military interacted closely with Afghan military forces through training, advising, and direct combat support. The US provided extensive resources, including equipment and intelligence, to help build the capacity of the Afghan National Army (ANA) and Afghan National Police (ANP). Joint operations were common, with US forces often coordinating with Afghan troops to conduct counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency missions. Over time, the focus shifted towards transitioning security responsibilities to Afghan forces as they became more capable of independently managing security in the country.
