Description
The purpose of this paper is to examine how a corps of engineers can improve the self sufficiency of the Afghan National Army (ANA) in counterinsurgency and reconstruction operations. In constituting the ANA, the United States and coalition forces have focused on combat units at the expense of other capabilities. Consequently, the ANA is not structurally prepared to independently prosecute a prolonged counterinsurgency campaign. The lack of engineering capabilities is particularly telling. Currently, the ANA engineer units suffer from deficiencies in force structure, training, equipment, and resources.
