Summary

Description	English: The British Flag is lowered during a ceremony to mark the end of British combat operations in Afghanistan and the drawdown from Camp Bastion. UK Armed Forces ended combat operations in Helmand Province on 26th October 2014, paving the way for the final transfer of security to the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). As they did on the battlefield, British troops stood shoulder-to-shoulder with colleagues from the United States Marine Corps (USMC) and the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) to witness the Union Flag and Stars and Stripes at the Bastion-Leatherneck complex lowered for the last time. The ceremony marked the end of operations for Regional Command (Southwest), a UK and US coalition command under the umbrella of NATO’s International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). Other contributing nations included Denmark, Estonia, Georgia, Tonga, Jordan and Bosnia.
