The Afghan National Army Special Operations Command was a special forces formation of the Afghan National Army, established in 2011.

The ANA commandos comprised only seven percent of the Afghan defence and security forces, however they may have fought in 70 percent to 80 percent of the fighting during the War in Afghanistan.[1]
