CJ-7 Training and Exercises (TREX)

1. The 8 EF’s
(know what are they and why were they developed)
2. Alignment EF’s with ASI/ANSF
(know it is not an isolated CF-system)
3. Process Maps
(know what they look like)

• Security Force Assistance (SFA) matured from 5 Functional
Pillars (FPs) to 8 Essential Functions (EFs);
• 5 Pillars too tactically focused (fight the war)
• 8 Essential Functions necessary to (sustain the ANSF)
– EFs integrate advisors @ ministerial, institutional, & fielded force levels
– Achieve ASI/ANSF sustainability
– Focus GIRoA/CF problem-solving
– Maintain IC support
– Enable ASI/ANSF to fight insurgency
– Enable withdrawal of CF

• The 8EF are Afghan system focus areas. These functions are interdependent and, taken as a whole, contribute to Afghan sustainability. They span across all levels of conflict, from the tactical to the strategic.
• Each Essential Function consists of Afghan systems, processes, and organizations necessary to implement the Function. These systems, processes, and organization have friction points, which prevent efficient flow of information and resources.
• Advisors focus on influencing these processes; however advisors should not directly impact the process. Afghan sustainability must evolve in a way that allows for enduring progress.

The 8 Essential Functions provide the framework and desired outcomes in target areas to achieve Afghan sustainability.
Each EF contains a series of Afghan processes with tactical, operational, and strategic characteristic, all of which may have interactions across other EFs.
This multi-echelon level of advising and cross-functional coordination allows analysis of Afghan process issues through multiple lenses.
