Afghanistan National Security Forces Order of Battle

The ANA. Click map to view.

The Long War Journal is pleased to publish the first release of the Afghanistan National Security Forces Order of Battle (ANSF OOB). The ANSF OOB, like the Iraqi Security Forces Order of Battle, is based on open source information. We believe the ANSF OOB is a good representation of the Afghan military and police structure. The OOB will be updated and published on a quarterly basis.

The ANSF OOB was compiled and written by CJ Radin who has had a long time interest in military and international political affairs.

    Also a sources page that summarizes all Afghan articles and briefings.
    Consider asking questions at some of the blogger briefs. Or if the timing doesn’t work for you, have someone such as DJ (or anyone else) ask your questions.
    I would also hide the lines in the spreadsheet before exporting it to PDF format.

  • Whither Liberalism, whither Conservatism, or will they wither?

    Echoes of our immediate post-WWII elections seem thick in the air.
    After 1989 and the collapse of Communism, most commentators expected a GOP crack-up as we lost the glue of anti-Communism, yet despite George H. W. Bush’s loss (assisted by a veng…

  • This is a phenomally good translation, and other Afghan news – updated and moved to the top or the roster

    I used to be, by dint of severe shortages, an English-Czech translator in Prague for  the politician who is now President of the Czech Republic, Vaclav Klaus. I only heard one thing I would wish to change in the translation that accompanies this vid…
