does not mean we can ignore the branch that has been offered this is an opportunity too valuable to scoff at and though the professionalism maturity and sensibility appear to have arrived at a most tardy moment it would be wrong headed to simply turn away it is positively surreal to see bob rae sitting on ctv s question period making sensible comments and suggestions about the importance of providing ongoing security training for the afghan police and army my reaction to mr rae s slap down of craig oliver in second comment here at babbling s post on the matter we can either mock him for his late arrival to table or we can take this opportunity to spur on a much needed discussion about our post 2011 role in afghanistan and maintain our commitments to our allies if the comments of conservative mp james rajotte are any indication there is at least some willingness to do that from within the government upperdate a good recap of some of the political nonsense that has been going on at the canada afghanistan blog with this apposite comment by milnews ca rae seemed to have a good grip on the issue last fall when he spoke during debate in parliament on the issue pdf of 5 oct 09

calls them see para before update comment here for timing links added to quote below brig gen jon vance arrived in kandahar on friday morning to take over command of canada s 2 800 troops in afghanistan and south asia the general s return came only five and a half days after he was named by canadian expeditionary force command as an emergency replacement for brig gen daniel menard who was abruptly fired last saturday for alleged sexual misconduct with a female soldier under his command thanks to an influx of american troops ordered by president barack obama vance has a fresh cavalry squadron from the 10th mountain division under his command in dand district see final para of this quote as well as far more american military policemen in kandahar city and the first wave of a brigade of troops from the 101st airborne division to the north and west of the provincial capital i m pretty certain this brigade combat team is not actually under brig gen vance over the next couple of months several more american brigades are expected at least doubling the number of troops in kandahar from perhaps 7 000 today as the american forces arrive it is expected that canada s military focus will narrow considerably eventually concentrating almost entirely on panjwaii district to the west of kandahar city for the moment however vance remains in charge of a powerful joint canadian american force task force kandahar tfk 1st squadron of us army s 71st cavalry regiment has now been included with us units the 1st battalion 12th infantry is no longer listed likely replaced by a battalion from the 101st airborne brigade not under tfk see sixth para of quote here responsible for much of the province which the taliban regard as their spiritual homeland i doubt several more american brigades will be arriving at kandahar over the next few months i would imagine two more to be the limit the us army has had the 5th stryker brigade combat team in the region since last summer the 2nd stryker cavalry regiment some 4 000 troops will replace it this summer the 2nd bct 101st airborne is now arriving that is two us brigades of ground troops two more would make four five brigades with tfk which is now about brigade strength then there is the us army s combat aviation brigade at kaf so maybe six brigades in all and some units not attached to the brigades now a division has traditionally had three brigades so u s major general james terry and his 10th mountain division hq will have their hands rather full when they take charge of reconfigured isaf regional command south this fall update note comment by starbuck time and the us army organizationally marches on upperdate june 14 us army orbat changes 1 zhari district with the combat boot prints of first strike

afstan post 2011 after all looks like some opposition politicos may be getting reasonable mr harper s latest i think we ve been very clear we re working according to the parliamentary resolution that was adopted in 2008 by which canada s military mission will end and will transition to a civilian and development mission at the end of 2011 and that continues to be our workplan according to the resolution adopted by parliament but he s not telling the truth the problem is the commons motion not a parliamentary one of march 12 2008 makes no mention of the cf s leaving afghanistan it refers only to kandahar this extension of canada s military presence in afghanistan is approved by this house expressly on the condition that c the government of canada notify nato that canada will end its presence in kandahar as of july 2011 and as of that date the redeployment of canadian forces troops out of kandahar and their replacement by afghan forces start as soon as possible so that it will have been completed by december 2011 the government is simply lying there is sadly no other word when it says the motion demands the military mission will come to an end in 2011 update thought can t the fellow even try to get yes for an answer what must secretary of state clinton think upperdate one colonel s view canadians could train afghans after 2011 military the canadian military is capable of training afghan security forces past 2011 but it could be a challenging task depending on the number of experienced personnel required the leader of canada s mentoring teams in afghanistan said friday col ian creighton who became commander of canada s operational and mentoring liaison teams they go outside the wire and fight alongside the afghans see middle of this post plus here and here not what is now envisaged for a post 2011 training mission see following para a month ago said the canadian forces could continue training the afghan police and army if ottawa decided in favour of it could we do training up in kabul or some place like that at some training centre we are in fact already sending a fairly small number of inside the wire trainers to kabul sure absolutely if that s where the government wants to go creighton said how many not sure creighton said maintaining a training role could be difficult depending on the number of canadian military leaders who would be needed if you ve got a force of 200 trainers that s like two battalions worth of leaders he said posted by anonymous at 12 19 p m 3 comments the torch is a group weblog focusing on the canadian military
