Inadequate Planning for ANSF Facilities Increases Risks for $11.4 Billion Program

Abstract

From fiscal year 2005 to 2010, Congress appropriated about $28 billion for the Afghanistan Security Forces Fund. The Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A),1 under the command of U.S. Forces-Afghanistan (USFOR-A),2 uses this funding to equip, train, base, and sustain the Afghanistan National Security Forces (ANSF), which includes the Afghan National Army (ANA) and Afghan National Police (ANP). According to the Joint Coordination and Monitoring Board (JCMB),3 In our previous audits of construction contracts for ANA garrisons located in Kunduz, Gamberi, and Farah, we attempted to determine the manner in which the contract requirements were developed. total ANSF personnel are planned to reach 305,600 in October 2011. According to CSTC-A, this number may increase to 400,000 by October 31, 2013. As a result, additional facilities and infrastructure are needed.
