A US report has said that Afghanistan's military and police are not on track to meet President Barack Obama's timetable for starting withdrawal of US troops from July next year. The report by the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction found big failings in the methods U.S. and coalition forces have used since 2005 to assess the readiness of Afghan army and police to take over security responsibilities once foreign forces withdraw. Arnold Fields, the chief inspector told reporters that they don't really know at this point in time what the capability of the Afghanistan security forces really is. The report mentioned that the rankings used to grade Afghan forces varied greatly from one region to another. It said personnel numbers for the Afghan army were overstated and didn't take absenteeism into account. Transferring responsibility for security to Afghan forces is one of the focal points of President Obama's strategy for the war against Taliban-led insurgents. Around 27 billion US dollars has been spent so far on training and equipping Afghan security forces, including the army and police.<br/>
