Partnering with Afghan National Security Forces

摘要

The guidance from Higher is clear: We have been charged to think and act differently about the way we are waging the COIN fight in Afghanistan. Our mission is to embrace the Afghan people, partner with ANSF, build governance capacity and accountability, and get better every day. Although many of us have been fighting this way for years, now all of us have the mission to transform the war, and we don't have much time. Our main effort, paradoxically, is to become the supporting effort to effective Afghan national security forces.
