 | | A NATO spokesman said an extra 26,000 allied troops would now be "more usable" for combat in Afghanistan, and he said there was also a commitment for more helicopters and fighter aircraft. |
 | | Commanders said they could move an extra 2,500 troops around the country now that some smaller members, such as the Netherlands, Romania, Slovenia and Luxembourg, agreed to lift so-called caveats that kept their troops in supply roles. |
