The ANA is the main branch of the military of Afghanistan, which is responsible for land-based military operations and ground warfare to defend the state against possible foreign military incursions. It is under the Ministry of Defense in Kabul and is being trained by NATO alliance.
The ANA is divided into six regional Corps, with about 200,000 active troops as of June 2012. The current Chief of Staff of the Afghan National Army is Lt. Gen. Sher Mohammad Karimi.
In the meantime Construction work on an Afghan National Army Officer Academy (ANAOA), dubbed the Afghan Sandhurst and funded by United Kingdom, has begun at a site just outside Kabul, it has been announced.
The academy will train around 1,500 students per year, around 10 per cent of whom will be female.
Three quarters of the non-Afghan mentoring staff at the facility will be British, and training will continue after the end of ISAF military operations in Afghanistan, with support from the US, Australia, Denmark and Norway.
