The British have said they will place a battalion in the south by the end of the year, but this doesn’t help the situation today. “We’re an interim force here to be sure,” he said. “We’re here to buy the Afghan national security forces the space and time needed to take responsibility for their own nation.” One bedrock tenet of counterin- surgency warfare is that indigenous troops are the best forces to use, McNeill said, adding that the Afghan forces show mixed success. “We’re a long way from having an effective police force here,” he said. “By my reckoning that’s at least two years away.” He said the Afghan National Army is much better, but it is smaller and has to control a larger population and larger land mass than in Iraq. That is where the International Security Assistance Force comes in. Until the Afghan army grows in strength and capabilities, NATO and its allies must help secure the nation, McNeill said. He stressed that NATO nations must come through with the forces needed. The general said national caveats that some forces work under also hamstring the international force. National governments place restric- tions on how their forces can be used in Afghanistan. For example, some forces cannot be used for offensive operations. “In effect, caveats do not Arizona National Guard Soldiers patrol Nuristan Province, Afghanistan, June allow us in this headquarters to make the most effi cient and effective appli- 19.
