The ACP or MMCV, or similar organization and capability, will be a critical asset in BSI to enable mission com- mand. Regardless of echelon, the same basic package can be used to support BSI with SFAAT and security forces, or large-scale operations where the squadron commander requires mobility, mainly to provide enablers for the SFAATs, security forces and ANSF in extremis. The basic package can also provide situational awareness for the release of certain assets and weapon systems. This requirement will be critical while coalition forces retrograde and ANSF operations increase in size and scope. The way ahead for the ACP/ MMCV concept is to train the ANA on integrating and training on a similar C2 asset that is a reflection of Afghan capability. Through continued advising and men-torship, the ANA will become proficient enough to battle-track its forces and request Afghan assets as required. As we continue to push the transition from BSO to BSI, the ANA will become increasingly self-reliant but must work to develop its systems further to increase its overall battlefield awareness. The ANA is highly capable; however, Afghan soldiers must continue to make progress on their own as coalition forces draw down in Afghanistan. Through continued advisement in MMCV-relat-ed capabilities, the ANA can improve and develop into a self-reliant force capable of protecting the people of Afghanistan.
