IMPORTANT NOTE: The international community recently approved pay increases for ANP company grade officers (captains and lieutenants); however, pay increases for the field grade ANP personnel will not be approved until completion of Rank Reform. Currently, ANP field grade personnel earn less than their Afghan National Army (ANA) equivalents, a situation that is causing severe morale problems. Completion of the ANP Rank Reform process will significantly alleviate deteriorating morale, which is why Post requests the Department's expedited vetting and response at the earliest possible date. Post greatly appreciates Department's strong support for completing the ANP Rank Reform process. ¶4.
