The plan to stop Green-on-Blue violence

01/04/13:  Foreign Policy published an article by Nate Jones discusses a recently declassified set of slides produced by US Central Command, published below and made public here for the first time, illustrates some of the steps that the US military has taken to defeat "insider threats" -- and why "green on blues" are so difficult to prevent .Centcom's ANSF Screening and Monitoring Timeline shows a robust -- if belated -- effort to quantitatively monitor each soldier in the Afghan army. Screening was hampered because a NATO intelligence-sharing agreement with the Afghan government wasn't reached until March 2008, and the ANSF biometrics program was not officially established until September 2009. In response to insider attacks, the Afghan Ministry of Defense began extensively ramping up its counterintelligence program in late 2010.
