Attack capability every year, burning over 6. 7 million acres. There are over 95 percent effective, they do a great job, but every so often you get that season or that issue that is going to escape or go beyond their ability to stop it right away and right now currently the u. S. Forest service that helps provide a lot of air resources and seasonal Fire Fighters is at the point at the end of that season where every pay period they have to justify keeping those air aviation contracts in place. When you come to the end of the season like this, they are going to have to start taking reductions on the rest of the year for those air tankers, those helicopters and the seasonal Fire Fighters.

So we would be out there telling the afghans, this is how you conduct police operations, this is how we do police training, this is how you hold your weapon and engage the enemy, and then several weeks later another force would come in and not that it was necessarily wrong, but it was different. So from the afghan perspective, incredibly frustrating to understand where they are going and what they need to be doing and what is right and what is wrong. So in closing if someone were to ask me from 2010 to where were at now, is there hope i would say, yes, there is. As we stand down our combat forces and shift to an advisory and a training role i think were going to be able to take our lessons lerbed learned and ensure that we can continue to build on what weve done. There were some Great Success stories. One of the things we worked on a lot was trying to bring women into the policing, something that was unheard of only a few years ago. Nina talked about the teachers but there was women wh
