  • Candidates for ANA officer cadet school take fitness tests given by Turkish NATO 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 ISAF NATO forces.

  • Pilot, Danielle Aitchison and her partner Chris Hood, narrowly missed being hit by a suicide bomber very similar to the one seen here.  On March 13, 2008 a suicide car bomber rammed into a military convoy on Airport Road, near Kabul International Airport.  The blast killed 6 and injured 15.  Danielle said the blast was 40 meters behind the car she was traveling in and pushed her forward in her seat.  "We got out of their as quickly as possible, because unfortunately you might go to try and help, but a second one might come and try to kill more people.  That was a very humbling experience that brought you right back to where you were and the dangers of being here.". .Pictured here:.A suicide bomber rammed his car into a NATO convoy on Monday, August 11th, 2008, in Kabul, Afghanistan.  According to reports a British soldier and 3 Afghan citizens were killed with at least a dozen more injured.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • ANA soldiers from 3rd Brigade, 201st Corps, distribute free humanitarian assistance to villagers during an operation in Tagab Valley.....Colonel Haynes said the battle plan, "The creeping barrage of goodness," to win the hearts and minds of the Tagab Valley includes: a paved road, wells, radio stations, solar power, humanitarian aid, and medical outreach.  Agricultural development teaching how to package goods, and pruning techniques to increase crop yields.  Saffron cultivation started too, as a replacement to poppy.  More projects like schools and police checkpoints will follow as resources allow...

  • ANA soldiers from 3rd Brigade, 201st Corps, use heavy construction equiptment to improve the road in Tagab Valley.....One of the main tactics is a new road through Tagab Valley that will allow traffic to bypass Kabul providing a more direct link between Pakistan and destinations north including Uzbekistan and Tajikistan.....To win the Tagab Valley, Colonel Haynes said, "The creeping barrage of goodness, really centers on the road going up the valley, because then you can begin development projects and increase prosperity.  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.  Haynes confirmed this is an ANA campaign - the first of its kind - his soldiers are mentoring the ANA, there are no coalition troops.  ..

In the background is the graded road being paved to help the 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.  ..
