Thank you, General Howard.
I'll use Operation Achilles as an example, because trying to build the infrastructure is one thing and trying to maintain it for use and development is another. You talked about the Afghan National Army. They're getting better and stronger, which is vitally important, but what is preventing us from equipping them with the right type of equipment, whether it be vehicles to get around—? We all have read and have heard they are being adequately trained, but they don't have the means and ways. I don't know if you could answer or just comment.
I was really concerned when you mentioned the new weapons, surface-to-air missiles. The question is, how are they getting these weapons and how do we prevent them from getting these weapons? Where are they coming from? If they didn't have the weapons, then how can the good work you described here be sustained, maintained, and how can we secure the areas, as we're all attempting to do? How do we address that? In my humble opinion, that really is the issue. How do we stop them from getting these weapons so you and our men and women and all the players involved can carry out their work?
