Afghanistan Risking Collapse with ANSF Size Decrease - Report

Afghanistan Risking Collapse with ANSF Size Decrease

"This study was recommended by the U.S. congress and carried out by a Virginia-based nonprofit hired by the Pentagon. The report indicates that Washington and NATO must cancel their program of ANSF cutdown to 228,000. "If the U.S. policy goal is to prevent Afghanistan from ever again becoming a safe haven for terrorists and insurgents, drawing down the Afghan Security Forces to 228,000 puts that goal at risk," Director of CNA Strategic Studies Center Jonathan Schroden said.
The report suggests that NATO and the U.S. maintain the current size of ANSF troops-352,000- and pay for the $4.1 million in expenses."
