I worked with the Afghan 205th Corps in Kandahar and surrounding provinces for two years. There are plenty of challenges but lots of opportunities there too.
I'm sure alot of this is manpower related but I wish SF would spend more intense time with the ANA. Imbeded at the Corps/Dv level is what needs to happen.
The Officer Corps/NCO Corps need professionalizing and basic training.
I know SF does alot with the ANA but there is not (or was not) the follow thru @ higher levels to imprint methodology...the MDMP of not what to think but how to think thru ops and resource.
At the time the rotating NG units were inbedding and doing what they could, some did well, others totally sucked and it was hap hazard at best.
SF did a great mentoring job in the field, when they had them but I really hoped for a full time imbed.
