| Summary |
In 2010, the Department of Defense launched the Ministry of Defense Advisors (MoDA) program to provide experienced civilian managers from its staff to advise their counterparts in the defense and interior ministries in Afghanistan. Undertaken with the support of Congress, the MoDA Program was based on the realization that although it was vital to train Afghan soldiers and police, these forces could be sustained only if they were supported by effective ministries. This report examines the selection, training, and deployment of MoDA advisors as well as the strengths and shortcomings of the program |
