continue to be increases in the number of independent units, although this is expected to be at a
more gradual rate.
The assessment process has been modified to include a thorough evaluation of operational
performance. This data will allow IJC to evaluate the volume of long-term coalition assistance
required throughout theater. As units move toward independence with advisors, the use of
coalition enablers must be continually reviewed, revised, and planned.
Long-term reforms to the operational assessment process include a separation of ANA and ANP
reports. Currently, the CUAT report template is uniform for all ANSF elements. The February
2012 CUAT report, with the support of the International Police Coordination Board (IPCB),
implemented ANP-specific focus questions and began collecting data on community policing
and rule of law capabilities.
Within each of the ratings below, there are detailed explanations and parameters to guide
partners or mentors in properly assigning an RDL. RDL ratings, along with leadership
assessments (very positive, positive, neutral, negative, and very negative) and partnering data,
are incorporated into current CUAT reports.

The unit is able to plan and execute its missions and maintain command and control of subordinate elements, calling on and controlling a QRF
and, MEDEVAC assets when required. When necessary the unit can call for and integrate joint effects from coalition forces and is capable of
exploiting intelligence and operating within a wider intelligence system. Unit personnel and equipment levels are > 75% of the authorized
strength (Present for Duty) and are sufficient for the unit to undertake its assigned tasks. The unit can operate, account for and maintain its
equipment and meet its basic logistic needs with no assistance from Coalition Forces. The unit is able to co-ordinate its operations with other
ANSF units and headquarters.
Effective planning, synchronizing, directing, and reporting of operations and status. Coordinating and communicating with higher, lower,
adjacent, and combined/joint units. Maintains effective readiness reports. Leaders, staff, and unit adhere to the ANSF Code of Conduct, and
are loyal to GIRoA. All unit enablers are present and effective in this unit, and are providing most of the support to the ANSF unit. Coalition
Forces provide only limited, occasional guidance to the staff. Coalition Forces may provide enablers that are missing from HIGHER or
LOWER ANSF levels. Coalition Forces augment support only on occasion. Equipment and personnel levels >75%. >75%. OCC P and R are always
integrated, and links are usually effective.
Requires routine mentoring for planning, synchronizing, directing, and reporting of operations and status; coordinating and communicating with
higher, lower, adjacent, and combined/joint units; and maintaining effective readiness reports. Leaders, staff, and most of the unit adhere to
the ANSF Code of Conduct, and are loyal to GIRoA. Most unit enablers are present and effective. Those enablers present are providing most
of the support to the ANSF unit. Coalition Forces may provide enablers that are missing from this level, and augment enabler support at this
level. Equipment and personnel levels >65%. >65%. OCC P and R are always integrated, and links are sometimes effective .
Requires partner unit presence and assistance for planning, synchronizing, directing, and reporting of operations and status; coordinating and
communicating with higher, lower, adjacent, and combined/joint units; and maintaining effective readiness reports. Leaders and most of the
staff usually adhere to the ANSF Code of Conduct, and are loyal to GIRoA. Some unit enablers are present and effective at this level of unit.
Those present provide some of the support to the ANSF unit. Coalition Forces provide the missing enablers and most of the support at this
level. Equipment and personnel levels
