Following the defeat of both the Taliban regime in Afghanistan (9 November 2001) and Saddam Hussein's government in Iraq (8 April 2003), CENTCOM has continued to provide security to the new freely-elected governments in those countries, conducting counterinsurgency operations and assisting host nation security forces to provide for their own defense.
随着阿富汗塔利班政权（2001年11月9日）和伊拉克萨达姆政府（2003年4月8日）的失败，中央战区司令部继续向新任自由选举的政府提供安全保障，进行反叛乱行动，协助东道国安全部队自卫。
