On June 18 President of Afghanistan Hamid Karzai announced that the lead for security was handed over to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) nationwide. From now on the responsibility for ensuring security in all the 43 provinces of Afghanistan will be in Afghan hands with the coalition forces moving entirely into a supporting role.
The transfer of lead responsibility to the ANSF in Ghor province which has been protected by a Lithuanian-led Provincial Reconstruction Team (PRT) since 2005 took place as early as the end of 2012 but regardless of that, the 17th shift of the PRT will be performing advisory and training functions untill the closure of the PRT mission.
