    just reviewing a current document and its referring to both FINGAL and HERRICK.

    I assumed FINGAL had been absorbed into HERRICK, is this not the case?

    Not certain, but wouldn't one be the support to ISAF & the other be NATO support?

    Er....ISAF/NATO is the same thing. ISAF is the NATO sponsored mission in Afghanistan. Have a look here:

    My bad.

    I would assume that HERRICK is operations in Helmand/Kandahar and FINGAL is Kabul.

    FINGAL was the original PRT mission which ran concurrently with JACANA the search and destroy mission. All now subsumed into the overarching Op HERRICK.
