Contents Introduction -- Emergence of the ALP -- ALP in the provinces -- Findings and analysis -- Implications -- Recommendations.
Summary Much international effort and funding have focused on building and bureaucratizing the means of violence in Afghanistan. At the same time, parallel government and NATO experiments have armed local defense forces, including local militias, under the Afghan Local Police (ALP) program to fight the insurgency and provide security at the local level. This report -- which is based on a year's research in Kabul and the provinces of Wardak, Baghlan, and Kunduz -- seeks to understand the role and impact of the ALP on security and political dynamics in the context of ongoing counterinsurgency and stabilization operations and the projected drawdown of international troops in 2014 .
