Article Abstract:
US forces turned to the Afghanistan Engineer District (ARD), US Army Corps of Engineers, to design and construct permanent facilities as power projection platforms for the Afghan National Army (ANA) following the fall of the Taliban in 2001 and faced with establishing a reformed ANA to secure and stabilize the country. The infrastructure available for the ANA was either destroyed in combat or in such a state of disrepair that it was essentially useless.
