Task Force 373

Task Force 373 is a joint military commando unit active in the War in Afghanistan.

The unit became prominent when the clandestine operations of the unit were brought into the public domain by the release of the Afghan War Diary on on 25 July 2010. It has been claimed that the unit is stationed at Camp Marmal, the German field base in Mazar-e-Sharif.

The leaked information shows that Task Force 373 uses at least three bases in Afghanistan, in Kabul, Kandahar and Khost. Although it works alongside special forces from Afghanistan and other coalition nations, it appears to be drawing its troops primarily from the U.S. Special Operations, among others the 7th Special Forces Group, 160th SOAR, Navy SEALs, & MARSOC Marines. It is loosely based on the JSOC task forces such as Task Force 121, Task Force 145, Task Force 20, Task Force 6-26, and Task Force 88.

It has been reported that this unit's mission is to "deactivate" suspected senior Taliban, by either killing or capturing them. During certain missions prisoners have been taken, information contained in The War Logs includes at least 62 instances of detainee transfers where the source of the detainee is stated as being "TF 373".
