A U.S. Army Special Forces soldier places a new uniform item in the duffel bag of an Afghan National Army recruit at the Afghan National Army training site in Kabul, Afghanistan, on May 14, 2002. Approximately 150 U.S. Special Forces soldiers are deployed to Kabul to equip and train recruits of the new Afghan National Army in training cycles of approximately 10 weeks in duration. The training will emphasize basic soldier skills at the beginning of each training cycle and then progress to more complex tasks as skills are mastered. Collective training at the squad, platoon, company and battalion level will follow individual training.
