Pentagon changes contracting approach for Afghan training to save money

Giving the Afghans non sustainable equipment for their use is a money pit. When I was deployed, CJTF 101 decreed we could not use 1151s anymore. For anything. We had 5 on base. Mostly for running supplies inside the wire, firing platforms, or a road block at the front gate. We had to turn them over to the ANSF. They were broken in a few months without field support, not part of the contract. Just one small example.

Sublet it out to the New Jersey Mafia…
