Assessment of U.S. Government and Coalition Efforts to Develop the Logistics Sustainment Capability of the Afghan National Army

Abstract

This is the 12th in a series of reports published by the Office of Inspector General's Special Plans and Operations Directorate that focus on the train and equip missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. On February 14, 2011, the DODIG announced the Assessment of U.S. Government and Coalition Efforts to Develop the Logistics Sustainment Capability of the Afghan National Army. The objectives of this assessment were to determine whether planning and operational implementation of efforts by U.S./Coalition Forces (U.S./CF) to train, advise, and assist in the development of an enduring logistics sustainability capability for the Afghan National Army (ANA) were effective. This included evaluating output/outcome in ANA logistical and operational organizations resulting from U.S./CF involvement in developing Ministry of Defense (MoD)/General Staff (GS)/ANA logistics support processes. Plans, training, preparation, and designated missions of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)/U.S. Forces-Afghanistan (USFOR-A), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Training Mission-Afghanistan/Combined Security Transition Command- Afghanistan (NTM-A/CSTC-A), and ISAF Joint Command (IJC) to train, advise, and assist in the development of an enduring logistics sustainability capability for the ANA were integrated across all levels of U.S./CF commands/staffs, as well as with the MoD, and address ANA operational needs. This report consists of nine separate sections: Notable Progress, Planning, Contracting, Training, Logistics Process and Procedure, Accountability, Maintenance, Personnel and Equipment authorization (Tashkil), and Commander's Unit Assessment Tool (CUAT).
