"We will continue to have security force assistance teams — out with the different battalions and brigades and with our police — that will continue to mentor, advise and train as we move forward toward the end of 2014 and potentially beyond."
Gen. Gurganus noted that a major barrier to additional training is finding the time to take Afghan soldiers out of combat.
