ISAF and the Afghan Government are involved in a continual assessment process that looks at the performance and capabilities of the Afghan National Security Forces (ANSF). As I explained to the House on 14 February 2011, Hansard, columns 732-35, there have been significant advances in both the size and capabilities of the ANSF.

Both the Afghan national army and Afghan national police met their growth objectives for 2010, and are on track to meet the targets for 2011, agreed at the Kabul conference last year.
