After 2002, the 2nd Joint Operational Command "Mare[al Alexandru Averescu" played a valuable role in the participation of the Romanian military with forces in peace support operations and terrorism fighting actions under NATO and EU command (in Kosovo, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Iraq, Afghanistan) and under UN mandate, and with military observers and monitors (in Congo, Kosovo, Ethiopia/Eritrea, Cote d'Ivoire, Afghanistan, Georgia, Sudan and Nepal).
