Afghanistan National Defense and Security Forces: DOD Spent $457.7 Million on Intelligence Capacity-Building Programs, but Impact Cannot Be Fully Assessed Because of a Lack of Performance Metrics

Abstract

WHAT SIGAR REVIEWED. From 2010 to 2013, the Department of Defense (DOD), through the Army Contracting Command (ACC), awarded one task order and four contracts (referred to in this report as "contracts"), valued at $536.1 million, to develop the Afghan National Security and Defense Forces' (ANDSF) intelligence capabilities. ACC awarded the initial four research and development (R and D) contracts, valued at $332.8 million, to Jorge Scientific Corporation - rebranded as Imperatis Corporation in 2013 - which subcontracted with New Century Consulting Limited (NCC). The R and D task order and contracts - Legacy Afghanistan, Legacy Kabul, Legacy South, and Legacy East - became known as the Legacy Afghanistan R and D program. In 2013, ACC awarded a $203.3 million contract to NCC to implement the Afghanistan Source Operations Management (ASOM) training and mentoring program. By the end of the programs, the Legacy and ASOM task order and contracts cost $457.7 million.
