WASHINGTON (Pajhwok): As Afghan forces got better in their performances in 2015, the Taliban were unable to hold ground, a top US military official said on Tuesday.
“Our assessment of their (Afghan forces) performance in 2015 is that they had mixed results,” Brig. Gen. Wilson Shoffner, deputy chief of staff for communications, said during a media interaction at the Pentagon.
They applied and learned lessons from one operation to the next. They got better, he said, praising the Afghan forces’ ability to integrate their air and artillery . . .
