Autor Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (U.S.)en Paperback – 31 iul 2017 – vârsta de la 18 ani
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.
