Description

In Feb. 2011, the NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A) developed the Infrastructure Training Advisory Group (ITAG) Campaign Plan, which calls for the transition of Operation and Maintenance (O&M) of Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF) facilities to the Afghan government and full Afghan-led sustainment by 2014. Because the Afghan government currently lacks the capacity to provide O&M, NTM-A obligated $800 million to fund these services for ANSF facilities across Afghanistan until the Afghan government is able to handle O&M. In July 2010, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) awarded two contracts covering the northern and southern parts of the country to ITT Exelis Systems Corp. to provide O&M for ANSF facilties and to train ANSF workers on the required trade skills. This report assesses the extent to which (1) NTM-A and USACE are developing the capacity of the ANSF to sustain its facilities after full transition in 2014; (2) Exelis has implemented the O&M contracts within the contractsäó» terms; and (3) USACE and Exelis have provided oversight of the contracts. Figures and tables. This is a print on demand report.
