Wisborg responded to reftel demarche November 28 by
emphasizing Danish support for building Afghan National Army
(ANA) capabilities, including by contributing to an OMLT
early next year. Wisborg indicated that Denmark is likely to
support broadening the mandate of the NATO ANA Trust Fund to
include sustainment costs, but doubted that the Danish
government would be in a position to respond positively this
year to our contribution request. Such contributions would
have to come from the Danish Ministry of Defense budget,
Wisborg explained, which is already under pressure due to
long deployments in Afghanistan and elsewhere.
