Background:
The officer training school will be the only British military contribution to Afghanistan when troops have left Helmand province in 2014. Recruits will spend 42 weeks at the ANAOA, over 3 terms, before graduating in September 2014. Although the training model is based on that used at Sandhurst, emphasis will be placed on generating an Afghan ethos as the Afghan National Security Forces continue to develop.
There are currently 42 mentors from the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Denmark and Norway involved with the ANAOA. This number is expected to rise to around 120 by spring 2014.

 Gen Karimi, now the army chief of staff, has persuaded Britain to support his own version of the academy which has been built at Qarga, west of the Afghan capital Kabul.
