This book was released on 2017-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the second in a series of lessons learned reports which examine how the U.S. government and Departments of Defense, State, and Justice carried out reconstruction programs in Afghanistan. In particular, the report analyzes security sector assistance (SSA) programs to create, train and advise the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) between 2002 and 2016. This publication concludes that the effort to train the ANDSF needs to continue, and provides recommendations for the SSA programs to be improved, based on lessons learned from careful analysis of real reconstruction situations in Afghanistan. The publication states that the United States was never prepared to help create Afghan police and military forces capable of protecting that country from internal and external threats. It is the hope of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), John F. Sopko, that this publication, and other SIGAR reports will create a body of work that can help provide reasonable solutions to help United States agencies and military forces improve reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan.

Book excerpt: The report is divided into four parts: (1) Notable Improvements; (2) Afghan National Security Forces; (3) Afghan National Army, and (4) Afghan National Police. The report makes 23 observations and 68 recommendations. The report notes 14 examples where progress had been made in the areas of ANSF doctrine, training, leader development, material/logistics, and international cooperation. CSTC-A continues to face challenges with the contracting process and the quality of materials and services procured for the ANSF. The lack of appropriate oversight support for CSTC-A contracts has been reflected in an ongoing failure to ensure that contractors selected had the capability required to meet the standards set in the contract; and to monitor contract performance to ensure contractual services delivered were in compliance with contract specifications. As of May 2009, the Afghan National Army (ANA) end strength was approximately 86,558, with approved plans to expand to 134,000 by the end of calendar year 2011. In May 2009, the Afghan National Police (ANP) end strength was approximately 81,509, with approved plans to increase its strength to 96,800. Expansion of the ANSF beyond currently approved levels will face major challenges. Development of the logistics capability of the ANSF significantly lags its operational capacity. The professional coordination and cooperation between the ANP and the criminal justice/Rule of Law (ROL) system at the district level in Afghanistan was tenuous at best. This presented a serious impediment to establishing a local environment characterized by effective civil policing, in support of the ROL, and, therefore, to achieving the establishment of security and order necessary for the protection of the population in support of counterinsurgency (COIN) objectives. Without an effective link between the local police and Ministry of Justice personnel responsible for implementing the system of justice at the district level, Afghan Uniformed Police efforts to implement Focused District Development (FDD) program objectives of providing enhanced security for the population, including the ability to conduct community policing of criminal activities and respect for the ROL, have been undermined when they return to their districts after their training. As a consequence, FDD-trained Afghan Uniformed Police (AUP) were unable to build and sustain public confidence in the police and government. Lack of accountability for funds, equipment, and personal actions remains problematic throughout the ANSF. CSTC-A ETTs, PMTs, and ISAF/Coalition Operational Mentor and Liaison Teams (OMLTs) have historically been and still are under-resourced against required personnel levels, which has delayed the development of the Afghan Army and Police.

The U.S. Dept. of Defense, through its Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan, directs U.S. efforts to develop the Afghan National Army (ANA) and, in conjunction with the Dept. of State, the Afghan National Police (ANP). To follow up on recommendations from a 2005 report on the ANSF, this report analyzed the extent to which U.S. plans for the ANSF contain criteria that was previously recommended. The author also examined progress made and challenges faced in developing the ANA and ANP. Includes recommendations. Charts and tables.

Book excerpt: Since 2005, Congress has appropriated almost $53 billion for the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund to train, equip, and sustain the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). The process of transferring security responsibility to the Afghans is expected to be completed by the end of 2014, which will coincide with the completion of the current drawdown of U.S. and coalition forces. This audit report assessed the extent to which (1) the International Security Assistance Force's (ISAF's) tool for evaluating the manning, training, and equipping capacity of the ANSF -- the Commander's Unit Assessment Tool (CUAT) -- was consistently applied to assess ANSF units; and (2) ISAF is taking steps to plan for the continued collection, validation, analysis, and reporting of ANSF capacity assessments during the military drawdown and the transition of security responsibility to the Afghan government.

Book excerpt: This is a continuation of a series of Congressionally mandated, command requested, and/or self-generated reports published by the Office of Inspector General's Special Plans and Operations Directorate that focus on the train and equip missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. General areas discussed in these reports include: Accountability of weapons transferred to the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces, Accountability of night vision devices transferred to the Iraqi Security Forces, Effectiveness/responsiveness of the Foreign Military Sales system in support of the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces, Logistics development of the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces, Effectiveness of U.S. and Coalition efforts to develop the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces, and Review of the Coalition Support Fund Program and other DoD security assistance/cooperation programs with Pakistan. On August 15, 2011, the DoDIG announced the “Assessment of U.S. Government and Coalition Efforts to Develop the Afghan Local Police,” (Project No. D2011-D00SPO-0277-000). The objectives of this assessment were to determine whether: Planning and operational implementation efforts by U.S./Coalition Forces to recruit, train, advise and assist in the development of the Afghan Local Police (ALP) was effective. This included evaluating output/outcome at ALP locations at various stages of their life cycle to determine the effectiveness of U.S./Coalition involvement in developing the ALP and Ministry of Interior (MoI) capability to manage the program. Plans, training, preparation and designated missions of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)/United States Forces-Afghanistan (USFOR-A), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A)/Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A), ISAF Joint Command (IJC), and Coalition Forces Special Operations Component Command-Afghanistan (CFSOCC-A) to train, advise and assist in the development of the ALP are integrated across all levels of U.S./Coalition commands/staffs, as well as between Coalition commands and the MoI/Afghan National Police (ANP).

Book excerpt: By December 2013, U.S. Forces in Afghanistan had largely transitioned from directly fighting insurgents to developing the capacity of the Afghan security forces, including the Afghan National Army (ANA). As announced by the President on May 27, 2014, U.S. and Coalition Force planned to reduce their presence in Afghanistan throughout 2014, removing combat forces to focus primarily on the train, advise, and assist role through 2015. The objectives of this report were to: (1) assess the planning and execution of logistical processes developed by the U.S. and Coalition Force in Afghanistan for the ANA; and (2) review plans for the continued development of Afghan National Security forces (ANSF) sustainment capability during the RESOLUTE SUPPORT MISSION POST-2014.

Office of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The development of self-sufficient Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) capable of independently providing internal and external security for Afghanistan is a key goal of the U.S. strategy for Afghanistan. For the last 5 years, the Capability Milestone (CM) rating system has been the primary metric for measuring the development of ANSF capabilities against end-state goals. In late 2009, responsibility for the management of ANSF capability assessments moved from NTM-A/CSTC-A to IJC. This review, the first independent evaluation of the CM rating system since its creation in 2005, assesses (1) the reliability of the Capability Milestone rating system; (2) summary reports provided to decision-makers; (3) challenges to U.S. and Coalition assessment efforts; and (4) systemic ANSF deficiencies that have undermined efforts to develop unit-level capabilities.
