GETTING FROM HERE TO THERE


The Afghan force development process detailed here is an adaptation of the more mature and complex U.S. force management development process, with boxes indicating where Afghan force managers have developed capability thus far. Intellectual challenges, as well as Afghanistan’s current systems and processes, limit how much of the U.S. process is feasible to implement in Afghanistan. (SOURCE: Maj. James K.
