We found that despite ongoing capacity development, the Afghan government continues to face challenges that will likely prevent it from fully sustaining ANSF facilities after the 2014 transition. Further, although Exelis generally invoiced and provided services in accordance with the terms of the contracts, its northern contract is projected to run out of funds in March 2014, 16 months short of the full period of performance, and Exelis has not fully implemented quality control efforts for its southern contract. This report recommends that USACE (1) implement standardized procedures for overseeing the two contracts, (2) direct Exelis to fully implement its quality control program in southern Afghanistan, and (3) complete its plan and procedures for removing partial facilities from the contracts and reclassifying these facilities in order to reduce O\u0026amp;M costs.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Special Inspector General for Afghanista\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1508818959\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781508818953\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Createspace Independent Publishing Platform\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/11\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 52\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.00h x 8.50w x 0.11d","brand":"Special Inspector General for Afghanista","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48623051866367,"sku":"9781508818953","price":12.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_08921864-9fdf-47e8-9279-a7f8f306d692.jpg?v=1780430729","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/afghan-national-security-forces-facilities-special-inspector-general-for-afghanista-9781508818953","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
