===Operation Enduring Freedom and ISAF===
AdA Mirage 2000Ds served in the intervention in Afghanistan in 2001–2002, operating in close conjunction with international forces and performing precision attacks with [[Laser-guided bomb|LGBs]].
The French Air Force deployed the Mirage 2000D to [[Manas Air Base]] in Kyrgyzstan from 2002 to 2004 to support coalition forces in Afghanistan. Then from 2004 to 2007, they stayed at [[Dushanbe]], Tajikistan.
In summer 2007, after the [[Rafale]] fighters have been removed from the theater of operations, 3 French Mirage 2000s were deployed to Afghanistan in support of NATO troops.
To shorten the response time to support [[NATO]] [[International Security Assistance Force|ISAF]] troops in southern Afghanistan, the aircraft moved to [[Kandahar International Airport]]. Three [[Rafale]] F2 and three Mirage 2000Ds operate from Kandahar in 2008.<ref>French Ministry of Defence, [http://www.defense.gouv.fr/ema_uk/overseas/afghanistan/breaking_news/08_02_12_afghanistan_rafale_carry_out_their_first_mission Rafales carry out their first mission] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081013020816/http://www.defense.gouv.fr/ema_uk/overseas/afghanistan/breaking_news/08_02_12_afghanistan_rafale_carry_out_their_first_mission |date=13 October 2008 }}, February 2008</ref>
