Korean troops out of Afghanistan(2007.12.14 アルジャジーラ)

The pullout of 195 troops – mostly medics and engineers - was part of a pledge South Korea gave to the Taliban to ensure the freedom of 23 hostages taken captive earlier this year.

「韓国がタリバンに担保として与えた部隊の一部」ということでしょうか?韓国は人質解放のためにいくつも担保を提供し、これはその中のひとつなので　”a”　が使われているのですね。提供した担保がひとつだけなら “the” だと思います。
