UK equipment for Afghanistan extra 500 troops and other NATO commitments

I wanted to start a thread that had what the NATO countries are contributing to the Afghanistan mission..
The UK today says it’s sending another 500 troops bringing the number there up to 10,000. There were requirements before these could go that equipment must be there for them and the equipment there already must be in good working order.
I’m not sure about other countries and what they have there or are going to commit to Afghanistan mission so other posters could help with this.
Here is a list of some of the improvements for the UK.

Improvements include:
— Newly arrived Merlin helicopters today given the ‘green light’ for operations in Afghanistan a month ahead of schedule;
— We have almost doubled helicopter flying hours since November 2006 through increases in numbers and improvements in availability of Chinook, Sea King and Lynx. This will increase further in the coming months with more Merlin helicopters available for front line operations;
— By the end of the year the number of heavily armoured, mine-resistant MASTIFF vehicles will have almost doubled (a 93 per cent increase);
— A 77 per cent increase in the number of RIDGBACK, a smaller, more agile version of the MASTIFF, since August 2009;
— Introduction of two brand new tactical support vehicles – the COYOTE and the HUSKY which carry troops, kit and supplies the front line;
— 5,000 sets of the brand new OSPREY ASSAULT body armour covers and Mark 7 helmets have been sent to theatre, and 5,000 more on the way;
— As well as body armour and personal weapons, troops who deploy on operations are issued a ‘black bag’ containing over £3,000 of equipment that a soldier needs from boots and sleeping bags to camel back water packs and binoculars;
— By May 2010, the number of available hours provided by the Hermes 450, Desert Hawk and Reaper Unmanned Arial Vehicles will have increased by around 33%, 50% and 80% respectively;
— Overall, since 2006, we have delivered equipment valued at more than £10 billion to the Armed Forces.

Defence Secretary Bob Ainsworth said:

“Our forces in Afghanistan are risking their lives daily and they deserve our support. The mission there is vital for our national and international security and we must not lose our resolve. There has been a very substantial improvement over the last few months in helicopter numbers and in protective vehicles. The ratio – even with the increase in troops – has improved quite considerably in both of those areas which are of vital importance to the safety and ability for our people in Afghanistan to operate.”

A question i have is that if you have 40 Merlin helicopter’s at the home base how many can you deploy permanently abroad?
I also read somewhere that the MOD was thinking of scrapping the commando seaking upgrade and medium rotor replacement programme which i think includes pumas, seakings, lynxs and buying another 40 chinooks instead. Surely as good as the Chinook is it can’t be the better than the all other helicopters in every role. I heard the Seaking upgrade is cancelled but not sure what’s happening with the puma upgrade as i thought it was signed. I presume they can’t get out of wildcat either. The UK should now have the ability to lift 400-500 troops at once in an emergency. This could not be carried out everyday though. One thing with the UK media is always talking about a victory. You can;t win in Afghanistan. A win is to provide stability and leave the country in a fit enough to to govern itself. This is winnable.

Any news on other countries contributions or equipment they have there?
