Advising will occur under combat or administrative conditions at tactical, operational, and strategic levels in support of individuals or groups. 2 Advisor. A subject matter expert (SME) who serves with ANSF to advise, assist, and counsel counterparts. Additionally, SMEs observe, evaluate, and report on the performance of their assigned unit. While not liaison officers, they communicate with their ISAF superiors, functional SMEs and ANSF counterparts to resolve problems and gain confidence. Advisors’ primary purpose is to create professional relationships based on trust that will inspire and influence their counterparts to effective action. 3 Afghan Units. d) Kandak.

Providing the required supporting or sustaining capabilities to the ANSF so they can meet objectives and reach the desired end-state. 7 Assistance Platform. Selected locations on GIRoA bases used by Coalition units that can accommodate advisor teams for temporary periods of time, i.e., temporary bases for specific missions. 8 Autonomous Units.

The authority delegated to a commander to assign tasks to forces under his command for the accomplishment of the mission assigned by higher authority. b) NATO Tactical Control (TACON). The detailed and usually local direction and control of movements or maneuvers necessary to accomplish missions or tasks assigned. c) NATO Operational Command (OPCOM). The authority granted to a commander to assign missions or tasks to subordinate commanders, to deploy units, to reassign forces, and to retain or delegate operational and/or tactical control as deemed necessary. This does not include responsibility for administration. d) NATO Operational Control (OPCON). The authority delegated to a commander to direct forces assigned so that the commander may accomplish specific missions or tasks, which are usually limited by function, time, or location. This also includes the authority to deploy units and to retain or assign tactical control of those units. It does not include authority to assign separate employment of components of the units concerned. Neither does it include administrative or logistic control. e) US Tactical Control (TACON). Command authority over assigned or attached forces or command, or military capability or forces made available for tasking (limited to the detailed direction and control of movements or maneuvers within the operational area and necessary to accomplish missions or tasks assigned). Tactical control is inherent in operational control. Tactical control may be delegated to and exercised at any level at or below the level of combatant command. Tactical control provides sufficient authority for controlling and directing the application of force or tactical use of combat support assets within the assigned mission or task. f) US Operational Control (OPCON). Command authority that may be exercised by commanders at any echelon at or below the level of combatant command. Operational control is inherent in combatant command (command authority) and may be delegated within the command. Operational control is the authority to perform those functions of command over subordinate forces involving organizing and employing commands and forces, assigning tasks, designating objectives, and giving authoritative direction over all aspects of military operations and joint training necessary to accomplish missions assigned to the command. Operational control should be exercised through the commanders of subordinate organizations. Normally this authority is exercised through subordinate joint force commanders and service and/or functional component commanders. Operational control normally provides full authority to organize commands and forces and to employ those forces as the commander in operational control sees necessary to accomplish assigned missions; it does not, in and of itself, include authoritative direction for logistics or matters of administration, discipline, internal organization, or unit training. 14 Corruption. The abuse of public office for private gain. State institutions normally manage and contain corruption through effective law enforcement and oversight, in conjunction with a vibrant, functioning civil society.
