Afghanistan: UK to send 440 more non-combat troops - BBC News

The commitment to Nato's mission in Afghanistan will take the total number of UK troops in the country to 1,090.
Around half of the troops will deploy from the Welsh Guards in August and the remainder will follow by February 2019.
They will help "bring the stability and security that the Afghan people deserve," Theresa May said.
At the height of the war, Nato had more than 130,000 troops from 50 nations in Afghanistan. The UK had 9,500 personnel and 137 bases in Helmand province alone.
