Combined Joint Task Force 82
Combined Joint Task Force – 82 (CJTF-82) is a US led subordinate formation of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). It originally served as both the National Command Element for U.S. forces in Afghanistan, reporting directly to the Commander, United States Central Command, and as ISAF's Regional Command East. It was replaced by Combined Joint Task Force - 101 (CJTF-101) in early April 2008. In May 2009, CJTF-82 returned to Bagram Air Field and assumed control of the east. Shortly thereafter the United States Forces Afghanistan (USFOR-A) officially took over responsibility as the National Command Element for the theater.
CJTF-82 is headquartered at Bagram Air Base.
