Supplement to SIGAR's January 2015 Quarterly Report to the United States Congress
Abstract
In accordance with SIGARs enabling legislation, Section 1228 of Pub. L. No.110-181, SIGAR has since 2008 published an unclassified Quarterly Report to the United States Congress and to the Secretaries of State and Defense. On January 30, 2015, SIGAR had to publish its first classified annex to the quarterly report after the new Resolute Support Mission (RSM) in Afghanistan decided to classify information that had been unclassified for the previous six years of SIGAR reporting. This newly classified information included the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) strength, attrition, equipment, personnel sustainment, and infrastructure, as well as anticorruption initiative sat the Afghan Attorney Generals Office, the Ministry of Defense (MOD) and Ministry of Interior (MOI), and other matters. However, in a meeting with Special Inspector General John F. Sopko in Kabul on February 1, 2015, General John F. Campbell, Resolute Support Commander, announced that RSM had declassified the bulk of the material that it had classified only days before. General Campbell gave IG Sopko binders containing the newly declassified information. SIGAR staff reviewed the information in cooperation with RSM and prepared this unclassified annex based on the declassified materials provided. Some information concerning corps level ANSF personnel strength data, future requirements for Afghan Air Force (AAF) equipment, the number of trained AAF pilots, and operational data on the Afghan Special Mission Wing (SMW) remains classified. SIGARs reporting on these topics can be found in the January 30, 2015, classified annex.
