Yes, we can do a lot more in those areas, specifically ANA training, specifically police training--absolutely. I can give you specific numbers. When I was there in December 2005, we had two RCMP officers from Kandahar at the PRT. That was increased to ten, of which eight were deployed. That's not enough. We need to have a more coherent approach to police training coming from Canada. That's absolutely critical.
When I visited the National Training Centre this summer, I was told that we had very few--about 12--people for the embedded training team there. We should triple that, easily. With the Americans running the training, one of the other problems we have is that the Afghan army is becoming dependent on American air power. We can't have that. When the Americans take their air power away, you still have to have an army that can function. So still a lot needs to be done.
I've tracked ANA development since 2002, and it's bounced back and forth between different missions. We're starting to get somewhere with it, but a lot more needs to be done in that area, and that means that if this is going to be part of our “exit strategy”, we've got to invest more in that, and it has to be much more coherent.
