The challenge is to develop Afghan plans through Afghans, and then direct DoD's substantial resources to accomplishing that plan.
Unfortunately, this is very different than the routine course, and requires a substantial change.
You just can't get "there" any other way---the old Lawrence quote about better to have them do it their way than for you to do it perfectly.
More important, if our technology, resources and systems exceed their capabilities and access, they will fail.
