- It's November 2011 and I've spent two of the past three years in Afghanistan working closely with American and coalition partners as they worked toward Afghan self-sufficiency. There is progress being made, however slow the global community may see it. However, as a career "soldier" I feel it safe to say only the naive would have suggested this was going to be easy. But I've seen plenty of real-world successes on the ground -- to include Afghan trainers taking the lead role in instructing their soldiers and police. As a retired Public Affairs type with the Air Force and, recently, senior adviser to the NTM-A PAO, I can't help but be encouraged by the positive direction of these young Afghan soldiers -- they are, after all, the future of the nation. As you read my blog, focus on the changes in responsibility on the ground for training Afghan National Army and Afghan National Police. You may notice that more recent images and video provided highlight Afghans leading Afghans.
