The Afghanistan War Commission is a bipartisan legislative commission established to study the entirety of U.S. military operations in Afghanistan from 2001 to 2021.[1] This commission was formally authorized as part of the 2022 National Defense Authorization Act.[2]

The commission will spend four years studying all aspects of the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan, including military operations, the efforts of non-military government organizations, and the cooperation between those actors. The commission will draft a report of its findings, styled after the 9/11 Commission Report.
