Recent events have been unveiling the effectiveness of Afghan troops in their country and their readiness without U.S. troops. Over 72,000 Afghan forces were deployed on Election Day in September to patrol voting stations and fend off any terrorist animosity, enabling citizens to vote without fear of repercussions.

As a result, his forces have been able to slowly retake land from Taliban militants.
