215th 'Maiwand' Corps  

The 215th 'Maiwand' Corps was one of the Corps of the Afghan National Army. Its headquarters was at Lashkargah, Helmand province. The Corps was established in 2009 and had strength of around 18,000 soldiers in 2015. The Corps was responsible for the security of south-western part of Afghanistan (Helmand province and Nimruz province). In 2015, the Corps was described as one of the weakest Corps among the six Afghan National Army Corps. One of the reasons cited for the 215th Corps weak performance compared to other corps was the inexperience of the corps commander. General Sami Sadat was appointed as the commander of the Corps in late November/December 2020. He commanded the Corps during the 2021 Taliban offensive and was later appointed as the commander of Afghan National Army Special Operations Command (ANASOC) on 11 August. No one is reported to have been appointed as the commander of the 215th Corps after Sadat's transfer and the Corps eventually surrendered in Battle of Lashkargah on 13 August 2021. Formations
