Afghanistan National Security Markets - 2011-2016

To train and equip the Afghani security forces is the cornerstone of the US led coalition strategy, driven by political pressure to ensure the coalition withdrawal plans. It is also driven by economical rational: while the funding of a single US and NATO soldier in Afghanistan costs approximately $1 million per annum, the cost of an ANSF soldier or police officer is less than $50,000 per annum. The Afghan military-security infrastructure is in need of everything from troops training, weapons, trucks and aircraft, to military communication gear, C-3I systems and counter-IED technologies. The success of this initiative will dictate the course of the conflict and the depth and duration of U.S.-led coalition involvement.
