| Summary/Abstract |
Afghanistan's fifth effort to form a central army started in 2002, following the fall of the Taleban regime. Mainly run by the US armed forces, the formation of the so-called 'Afghan National Army' run into several difficulties, ranging from initially slow recruitment, low educational level of troops and officers, high attrition rates. As the new army began to take shape, it lacked many of the characteristics which had been associated by the promoters with a 'national' army. It also showed a low level of commitment and a lax discipline. As of 2006, it looked more like an auxiliary force at the service of the US army and its allies than like a 'national' army.

| Summary/Abstract |
Just as Lawrence of Arabia famously wore indigenous clothing during the Arab Revolt of 1916-18, is it time for British conventional forces in Afghanistan, currently engaged in a non-conventional war, to adopt the uniform of the Afghan National Army? Dan Medina argues that despite the inevitable complications and resistance, the potential benefits of a phased uniform change are too compelling to ignore.
