Joint Task Force 435

Combined Joint Interagency Task Force 435 is a subordinate command of U.S. Forces-Afghanistan (USFOR-A) and includes U.S. service members from the Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force, plus Department of Defense civilians, contractors and Coalition members. CJIATF 435 partners with the Afghan National Security Forces, the Afghan National Army Detention Operations Command, the U.S. Department of State’s Division of International Narcotics and Law Enforcement, the U.S. Department of Justice (including the Federal Bureau of Investigation), the International Security Assistance Force Joint Command and the Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan.

The task force mission is to "train, advise and assist the Afghan National Army and Afghan Justice Sector to develop Rule of Law-based investigation, prosecution and detention of insurgent and terror-related threats while conducting U.S. Law of Armed Conflict detainee operations for third country nationals to protect U.S. forces and strengthen the legitimacy of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan."

In cooperation with Coalition and international counterparts, CJIATF 435 supports the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan as it builds self-sustaining detention capacity and rule of law institutions compliant with Afghan and international law. CJIATF 435 members serve as advisors supporting Afghan detention operations, and are committed to the secure custody and humane care of detainees. All U.S. facilities are operated in compliance with the applicable sections of Common Article III of the Geneva Conventions, the U.S. Detainee Treatment Act of 2005, relevant U.S. Executive Orders, Department of Defense policy and the U.S. Army Field Manual on interrogations.

CJIATF 435 also coordinates with the International Committee of the Red Cross and human rights organizations to ensure compliance with international standards of humane care and detainee treatment.

CJIATF 435 officially transferred the Detention Facility in Parwan to the control of the Afghan government on March 25, 2013, with the facility known from that date forward as the Afghan National Detention Facility in Parwan. The Afghan National Army Detention Operations Command controls the detention facility. CJIATF 435 continues to train, advise and assist the Afghan guard force at the facility.
