Some people may ask just what we're doing over here. Well, we're doing a lot! In the short time that I have been here I have seen how we are working with Afghans to help build their army and their police force as well as create jobs, increase literacy, build their government and much, much more.
During the time of the Taliban literacy rates drastically dropped. Now, Afghans are becoming educated through specially designed literacy programs. Afghan women now have increased job opportunities while the men have a chance to defend their country and provide civil security through the Afghan National Army and the Afghan National Police.
Speaking of the ANA and ANP, their capabilities are rapidly growing to include training and maintenance programs. The ANA has a new radio maintenance quality assurance/quality control facility operated by Afghans while the newly developed Major Crimes Task Force, similar to the federal bureau of investigations, represents the commitment of government and leadership to remove corruptness and prevent civil unrest. These are just two of several accomplishments made with many more to come.
Will we be leaving tomorrow? I don't know...what is important is that the Afghans are doing more and more on their own, taking important steps to standing on their own two feet.
