The 8 Essential Functions CJ-7 Training and Exercises (TREX) Good morning. I would like to provide you with a brief overview of the CAAT – what we do and how we do it. Revised TO: AD know who we are . AD know what the program will be. AD know what support we can deliver. AD know Aim and endstate of the ICAT 5. AD know how to contact us.

Content The 8 EF’s 2. Alignment EF’s with ASI/ANSF 3. Process Maps (know what are they and why were they developed) 2. Alignment EF’s with ASI/ANSF (know it is not an isolated CF-system) 3. Process Maps (know what they look like)

Background Security Force Assistance (SFA) matured from 5 Functional Pillars (FPs) to 8 Essential Functions (EFs); 5 Pillars too tactically focused (fight the war) 8 Essential Functions necessary to (sustain the ANSF) EFs integrate advisors @ ministerial, institutional, & fielded force levels Achieve ASI/ANSF sustainability Focus GIRoA/CF problem-solving Maintain IC support Enable ASI/ANSF to fight insurgency Enable withdrawal of CF

OPPLAN CONOPS The 8EF are Afghan system focus areas. These functions are interdependent and, taken as a whole, contribute to Afghan sustainability. They span across all levels of conflict, from the tactical to the strategic. Each Essential Function consists of Afghan systems, processes, and organizations necessary to implement the Function. These systems, processes, and organization have friction points, which prevent efficient flow of information and resources. Advisors focus on influencing these processes; however advisors should not directly impact the process. Afghan sustainability must evolve in a way that allows for enduring progress.

From 5 Pillars to 8 Essential Functions EF 1 PPBE EF 4 Force Gen EF 5 Sustainment EF 6 ESC EF 2 TAO EF 7 Intelligence C2 Leadership CAI / ILS Training Sustainment EF 3 CivGov/RoL EF 8 StratComm The processes found in the 5 Functional Pillars were re-assigned to the 8 Essential Functions NATO/ISAF UNCLASSIFIED

The 8 Essential Functions The 8 Essential Functions provide the framework and desired outcomes in target areas to achieve Afghan sustainability. Each EF contains a series of Afghan processes with tactical, operational, and strategic characteristic, all of which may have interactions across other EFs. This multi-echelon level of advising and cross-functional coordination allows analysis of Afghan process issues through multiple lenses. NATO/ISAF UNCLASSIFIED

Process Maps Maybe western visualization of Afghan process but: Are being made by former advisors ICCW Afghan counterparts Visualize extensive advisor efforts Are the best tool available to investigate and solve problems Are the means to minimize patronage/regional influence on Afghan systems Are essential for nation building Are essential to achieve sustaining ANSF ANNEX B in Guide!
