The U.S. government has given the embattled Afghan National Army (ANA) more
than $1 billion in taxpayer-funded ammunition, according to the Special
Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction’s (SIGAR) latest oversight
report.
This is in addition to $288 million that has been spent on ammunition for the
troubled Afghan National Police (ANP), which has been cited by SIGAR for its
widespread corruption.
The United States has spent more than $54 billion in total to arm, train, and
sustain Afghanistan’s security forces, which continue to underperform and suffer
low enlistment rates, according to SIGAR’s quarterly progress reports.
