It is the home of AAF 2nd Wing. Kandahar has been a major center for American and Canadian forces and in mid-2009 underwent a major build-up of US/Coalition forces.
Shindand Air Base Built by the Soviets in 1961. Home to the AAF 3rd Wing, it is the second largest military air base in the country, located just south of Herat with significant military aircraft shelters and facilities. Its location made it a prime candidate as a training base for the AAF.

Camp Marmal Built by Bundeswehr, it is a dual-use airport serving the northern and central portions of the country. A small American contingent has been based there.
