Afghan National Army



The Afghan National Army or ANA is featured in a small role in Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 as an allied faction of the U.S. Army Rangers.

Trivia

 * ANA soldiers are easily distinguishable due to the fact that they wear the Desert Battle Dress Uniform, the predecessor to the current Army Combat Uniform (ACU) worn by US Army personnel. The DBDU uniform is characterized by its distinctive "chocolate chip" camouflage pattern. Apart from Private Hamed, all of the ANA wear MICH TC-2000 helmets without chinstraps or camouflage helmet covers.
 * Most of the ANA soldiers that "spray bullets all over the damn place", as noted by Foley, are higher ranking than PFC Joseph Allen.
 * The ANA soldier that is in the player's HMMWV 'Cruncher' in "Team Player" disappears after it is destroyed.
 * There is an ANA soldier in "Team Player" that is eating chocolate and taking cover; he will later board a random vehicle.


 * There is also an ANA soldier in your Humvee after the bridge layer is finished and you go up to the vehicles. After that, he is not seen again, possibly dying when the RPG hits the players Humvee.
 * Rarely, one of the ANA soldiers will use an M240 machine gun.
 * One of the Rangers' conversations in "S.S.D.D." mentions how some of the ANA trainees "show up in track suits, expecting to shoot stuff".
 * The fate of the ANA is unknown after the U.S. Army Rangers pull out of the Middle Eastern Nations to defend their home country.
 * They will commonly use either M16A4s, with either stock iron sights or an ACOG scope, or M4A1s, with or without an M203 grenade launcher.
