Defense Minister Nikolay Nenchev will attend the departure ceremony in the town of Karlovo, in Central Bulgaria, to wish them good luck.
A Bulgarian squad will be responsible for the security of Kandahar's airport. The mission also includes a team of advisors and staff officers.
Col Georgi Margitin, who has taken part in EUFOR's Althea Mission in Bosnia-Herzegovina in the 2000s, will command the regiment.

It will provide support to key operations such as planning, programming and budgeting, oversee transparency and assist in the adherence to rule of law and good governance.
It should also help Afghanistan to develop and make improvements in its armed forces, mostly in terms of personnel.
