KANDAHAR, Afghanistan - With U.S. President Barack Obama set to announce a new strategy for Afghanistan, NATO commanders have changed Canada's area of responsibility in the country.
Brig. Gen. Frederick Hodges, director of operations for NATO's southern command, says Canada will take control of the Arghandab district north of Kandahar city.
Hodges says Task Force Kandahar will have an additional American battalion and an Afghan National Army unit under its command by the new year.
He stressed the changes would go ahead regardless of whether Obama decides to deploy additional troops to the south.
Hodges says NATO will first focus on deepening its hold in Kandahar before using whatever extra troops are deployed to clear neighbouring Helmand province.
