Editing Fort Bliss (section)

===War on terror===
After the [[September 11, 2001 attacks]], Fort Bliss provided ADA Battalions for US and NATO use in Afghanistan and Iraq, and has served as one of the major deployment centers for troops bound for [[Iraq]] and [[Afghanistan]]. This mission is accomplished via nearby [[Biggs Army Airfield]], which is included in the installation's supporting areas. Following the [[War in Afghanistan (2001–present)]] in 2001 Fort Bliss began training Afghan security forces at the [[United States Army Sergeants Major Academy|U.S. Army Sergeants Major Academy]] at Fort Bliss, with the hope that these newly trained soldiers would eventually be able to take control of their own national security.
