NATO is to receive advisory and assistance services from a U.S. counterterrorism company in the training of Afghanistan's national security forces.

Virginia-headquartered A-T Solutions said its services -- on the strategic and tactical levels -- would be conducted from the International Security Assistance Force and Resolute Support mission headquarters in Kabul, the Afghan capital.

Resolute Support is the name given by NATO to its training and assistance activities in the country following termination of direct involvement of NATO forces in combat operations against the Taliban. The U.S. component to the program is called Operation Freedom's Sentinel.

A-T Solutions said that under the NATO contract it will develop, design and present field training material and courses to ISAF/RS advisers on advisory skills, cultural awareness, insider threat, security force assistance and other subjects.

The company will also consolidate lessons learned from training operations, which will be presented to allied forces in theater and at predeployment centers.

"We are honored to be working with NATO to support this vitally important mission," said Dennis Kelly, president and CEO of A-T Solutions. "We look forward to working closely with the Resolute Support team and Afghan National Security Forces to deliver effective advisory support and the most comprehensive training programs available to help secure communities in Afghanistan against the terrorist threat."

Information on the contract's period of performance and monetary value were not disclosed.
