AIWFC hosted a public webcast featuring Mr. Pat Bremser who spent a year advising the Afghan Deputy Minister of Interior in the Islamic Government of Afghanistan (GIRoA), Kabul. The MoI is responsible for over 40% of all Afghan Security Forces (ANP, AUP, ABP, ANCOP) and their recruitment, training, and assignment. During the briefing, Mr. Bremser described the US ministerial advising program in Afghanistan and provided observations relevant for current and future operations. He also discussed successes and challenges he experienced in his deployment to include police force recruiting, training and assignment, as well as population registration, passports and visas, and the establishment of the electronic national ID card. Mr. Bremser is a training analyst for the Army SFA Proponent office in the Army IW Fusion Center. He served over 26 years in the Army before retiring in 2010. A recording of the webcast, as well as the briefing slides, summary and participant log are located on the AIWFC public website (see here).
