The Department of Defense has not been following through on adviser training for some of its service members before deploying them to Afghanistan, going against U.S. Central Command requirements, a government watchdog reported Wednesday.

In an anonymous survey, nearly half of U.S. uniformed personnel serving as advisers at Afghanistan’s Ministry of Defense and Ministry of the Interior said they received no adviser training before deploying, the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction said in its latest audit.

There is nothing new or shocking about this. The civilian leadership demands the US Military send X-Amount of advisors somewhere,and if the military doesn't have that many trained people ready to go,they send who they have that is the closest thing they have to trained.

The US Military follows orders,they don't create the orders. That "service" is done by the clueless fools who are elected and looking for positive press releases to show the voters "they are doing something".
