The NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A) is a multinational military organisation, activated in November 2009, tasked with providing a higher-level training for the Afghan National Army (ANA) and Afghan Air Force (AAF), including defense colleges and academies, as well as being responsible for doctrine development, and training and advising Afghan National Police (ANP). The commanding officers, is dual-hatted and commands both NTM-A and Combined Security Transition Command – Afghanistan (CSTC-A) and reports to Commander ISAF.〔 Its mission is: "NTM-A/CSTC-A, in coordination with NATO Nations and Partners, International Organizations, Donors and NGO's (Non-Government Organizations); supports GIRoA (Government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan) as it generates and sustains the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF), develops leaders, and establishes enduring institutional capacity in order to enable accountable Afghan-led security."〔(www.ntm-a.com )〕 This will reflect the Afghan government's policing priorities and will complement existing training and capacity development programs, including the European Union Police Mission and the work of the International Police Coordination Board. During the 1960s to the early 1990s, the Afghan army was trained and equipped by the Soviet Union. By 1992 it fragmented into regional militias under local warlords. This was followed by the Taliban rule in 1996. After the removal of the Taliban in late 2001, the new Afghan armed forces were formed with the support of US and other NATO countries. As of 2009, all training for the Afghan security forces have been conducted by a single Command. ==History== Between 2002 and 2009, the Afghan National Police (ANP) received training under the Afghanistan Police Program. At a 2009 NATO Summit in Strasbourg-Kehl, while celebrating sixty years of peace and security within the alliance, NATO allies and partners, announced that they would establish a NATO Training Mission-Afghanistan, drawing on NATO's successful experience training in Iraq, to oversee higher level training for the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). NTM-A, joined with CSTC-A on 21 November 2009 to create a comprehensive training program for Afghanistan,〔 and a few days later NATO obtained commitments from allies for personnel and resources to train, mentor and equip the ANSF. The current mission of NTM-A is to oversee higher level training for the Afghan National Army (ANA) and training and mentoring for the ANP, and in coordination with CSTC-A, to plan and implement authorized and resourced operational capacity building for ANSF, in order to enhance the government of the Islamic republic's ability to achieve security and stability in Afghanistan. , total manpower of the ANSF is over 290,000 and is expected to reach 400,000 by the end of 2014.〔(Polish troops killed by roadside bomb in east Afghanistan; Taliban claim responsibility ), Washington Post.
