4. CF Partnering to SFA, ANSF into fore – security responsibility

5. MoI Positive on ALP – but pressure for tashkils by phase

6. Trad VSO & District-Down VSO – more with less, consolidation

7. Accelerated ALP Validation (training, IPT, transition)

8. Transition ALP partnering to MoI DCoP, shift to overwatch

4. Personal relationships & support in the rural areas (FP & EW)

5. Coordinate with TF & Integrate with BSO & SFATs (process)

6. Oversight & Accountability – VSO and also in overwatch?

7. Log/sustainment & enablers -- LIMFAC

8. Come in HUMINT heavy, BYO ISR, TECH, C-IED, paying agents

9. Organic enablers (CST, CA, MISO, MWD, CS, CSS)

Afghan Local Police (ALP)

In August 2010, the Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) Ministerial Tashkil Decree 3196 authorized the establishment, fielding, and resourcing of Afghan Local Police (ALP) through the MoI to provide security in rural villages.- GIRoA Ministerial Tashkil Decree 3196, August 2010

The ALP program is a key subcomponent of the security line of operation in VSO. The program mobilizes rural communities to establish a self defense force to counter insurgent influence and promote stability at the sub-national level. - CJSOTF-A Afghan Local Police (ALP) Overview, 15 February 2012

• Nomination: ALP Guardians are members of the local community nominated and vetted by the traditional village or district shura (or jirgha).

• Resourcing: ALP are resourced (pay, uniforms, AK47s, radios and light tactical vehicles) by the MoI. The District Chief of Police (DCoP) accounts for ALP property.

• Accountability:

• ALP numbers / resources are determined by district Tashkils (MTOE) • ALP are validated by the District Governor (DGoV), district shura members, and ANSF

leadership during a Validation Ceremony.• The DCoP provides direct MoI oversight of the ALP program.• ALP are biometrically enrolled through MoI in-processing.

• Training: USSOF provides a standardized 3-week training POI for ALP that builds basic competency in the use of their weapons, equipment, small unit operations, and rule of law.

• Employment: ALP Guardians provide defensive based security around the immediate confines of their village or population center. ALP never act in an offensive capacity or deploy outside the limits of their district.

CJSOTF-A Informal Partnerships

Success in VSO is defined by the departure of Coalition Forces elements from districts and villages after Afghans assume control of security, government and development, which extends GIRoA influence and support into previously isolated population centers.- CJSOTF-A Village Stability Methodology 15 February 2012

• Informal Partnerships are required to nest security efforts and to ensure Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) are formally integrated and are under the control of the appropriate civilian sub-national government entity.

• CJSOTF-A informal partnerships occur with GIRoA CIV/MIL (MoI / MoD) representatives at the provincial, district, and village level:

• Village Shura, District Governor (DGov) / Provincial Governor (PGov)

• District Chief of Police (DCoP) / Provincial Chief of Police (PCoP)

• Afghan National Army (ANA) Commanders

• National Directorate of Security (NDS) Representatives

• Transition to GIRoA responsibility is the goal of all CF partnership efforts.

• SOF element assessments of the unique conditions at each VSP site determine the feasibility of sustainability of transition of VSO lines of operation to GIRoA.

Questions?

Decisive to Operation NAWEED, for the Coalition, is the implementation of the conceptual shift to the ANSF assuming lead responsibility for security operations.
