Abstract

The article offers a retrospective assessment of the Hungarian Defence Forces’ efforts in Afghanistan since 2003 (the start of the HDF’s activities there). It outlines a few basic considerations as to what may constitute a basis for such an assessment. This is followed by an overview of how Hungary fits into the system of burden-sharing within the coalition of the Afghanistan mission, and the issue of how much Hungary has done compared to its partners. It then looks at the example of the PRT and the deployment of the Hungarian Special Forces to gain a closer understanding of the impact of Hungary’s involvement, for example the question of how much this involvement was appreciated by others.
