DAYKUNDI PROVINCE, Afghanistan – Members of Kajran district’s Afghan Uniformed Police graduated from a “Train the Trainer” course in Kajran district, Feb. 20.
Afghan National Army Special Forces soldiers instructed the three-week training program that qualifies AUP members to instruct Afghan Local Police candidates in basic policing procedures, weapons handling and other skills necessary to protect and defend Afghan citizens.
The establishment and success of the ‘Train the Trainer” program marks an important step for Afghan National Security Forces.
“Kajran district now has the ability to train its ALP force without support from ANASF or coalition Special Operations Forces,” said a coalition SOF representative.
The graduation highlights the ANASF’s role in providing future guidance and leadership toward fellow Afghan forces. “This is both a force multiplier and a critical method of sustaining a security force in Kajran district and for future ALP growth and facilitation,” added the coalition SOF representative. “This program is a critical step to transitioning authority and control to Afghan leadership.”
