Basic training of ANP - Afghani National Police under the command of Czech instructors (102.PZPR), who belong to 1th Contingent of ISAF-PRT, is underway since last Tuesday.
Czech slodiers took over the training after American colleagues who left Logar last week after 16 months of deployment. Necessity to help local afghani police emerged from the current situation in the province. The worst casualties suffered ANP.
This is coused by lack of training, poor equipment and also by the fact that ANP members have the highest contact with enemy. This fact also supports 930 dead members of ANP during 2007.
Quote:
Those trained are newcomers who entered the police only recently, plus they cannot read or write, they cannot use weapons and they dont know the tactics during enemy ambush. Training of ANP cant get along without good interpreter. Czech instructors had luck because their interpreter have military training.
Quote:
"I remember kindly to studies in former Czechoslovakia. I studied on Military academy in Brno, technical subject. We came to republic and we wasnt able to speak Czech at all so we learned like small children through the medium of pictures. As far as the third grade Mohamad Taher Ghoshiwal writed down technical dictionary from Czech to Dari. He was one of the very talented students, he also made doctorate. Interesting is that Ghoshiwal was also from Logar and the shame is that that dictionary mentioned above was burned with all the other books during the rule of Mudzahedins" (spelling sry)..talked out interpreter during pause.
Quote:
Those members of ANP trains with almost all kinds of weapons with which they can encounter during service. As a primary weapon they use AK47 (Hungarian,Chinesse or Russian), PKM machineguns and Smith and Weston pistols for the officers.

Today, 21.4. 2008 at the International Kabul Airfield (KAIA) started its operation Czech Operational Mentor and Liaison Team which is from 16.4.2008 part of the 4th Contingent of Field hospital and Chemical dettachment of AČR.

They have very difficult task, to train maintainance technicians for among others donated Czech helicopters. Czech Republic donated 6 Mi17 and 6 Mi24 to Afghanistan.
