  • Candidates for ANA officer cadet school take academic tests given by American, ISAF NATO, and Afghan soldiers at the National Military Academy of Afghanistan (NMAA), modeled on the US Military Academy at West Point.  Out of approximately 3,000 applicants only 300 are selected each year during three days of academics and fitness tests.  The first class will graduate in 2009 with four year degrees majoring in civil engineering, computer sciences and law.  By 2012 the campus will be housed in a new $150 - 200 million facility named the Afghan Defense University (ADU).  The school is run by Afghan instructors with mentors from the 41 nation coalition International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) forces.

  • Afghan National Army recruits practice urban warfare training at the KMTC (Kabul Military Training Center) with mentoring by American and members of the 41 nation International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) coalition.  Most training is done by officers from the Afghan Army.  As of November 2008 the ANA was 68,000 soldiers strong and projected to reach 134,000 by 2012.  CSTC-A and the Kabul Military Training Institute continue to churn out a 1,200 battalion of soldiers every two weeks.

  • The religious officer from the ANA 3rd Brigade, 201st Corps, speaks with villagers during an operation in Tagab Valley.....Colonel Haynes was firm about the Afghan's potential indicating they inherently understand COIN.  The ANA is a national army with each unit strictly reflecting the ethnic make up of the nation.  Unlike foreign forces they speak the same languages, understand the culture and people.  Haynes stated, "Heck they even invented the corps religious officer who they use to relate to the people.  I never heard of it before, but I love it!"  Each ANA brigade deploys a religious officer, or mullah, who preaches to villagers the sins of supporting violent insurgent groups.   Unconventional innovative ideas like this are essential in COIN.

  • US Marine Colonel Jeff Haynes, Commanding Officer, 201st Regional Corps Advisory Command, (left) inside a "Qalat," with a OH-58 Kiowa helicopter overhead.  To his right is Marine Major Byron V. Chapman.....US mentors are living with Afghan National Army soldiers in a small "Qalat" rented from a nearby village in Tagab Valley.  It is part of the counterinsurgency effort to connect with villagers, gather intelligence and provide local security.....Colonel Haynes said fixating solely on the enemy is a mistake.  His men are on the sharp end of the fight taking calculated risks as COIN doctrine prescribes.  The Marines' COIN strategies come from lessons learned by the French and British as well as their own history.  During the Vietnam War the Marines employed a similar COIN idea with some success known as "Combined Action Programs (CAP's)."  They lived in villages and fought alongside indigenous Vietnamese security forces.  Marine General Victor "Brute" Krulak defended the program and waged his own internal policy war with Army General Westmoreland.  Krulak lost his battle with Westmoreland who preferred massive firepower and body counts - a strategy that wreaked havoc on the civilian population.  ..

The cab fare for villagers went from $8 down to $1 just because the ANA graded the road."  As the ANA move north through the valley they are building combat outposts to sustain the gains.
