2011+2015 British forces withdraw from Afghanistan The British Armed Forces have played a substantial role in the Afghanistan War. Their efforts in the country have been huge: second only to the U.S. in terms of troop numbers. Between 2001 and 2010, over 325 British forces personnel and MOD civilians were killed, exceeding the death toll of the Falklands War. Nearly 4,000 were injured. From 2011 onwards, a phased withdrawal begins - and a transitioning of districts and provinces - with Afghan forces leading security operations by 2014 and the last remaining British troops gone by 2015.*
