The Department of Defense provided Congress on Wednesday the April 2014 Report on Progress Toward Security and Stability in Afghanistan. It says although the Afghani security forces continue to make progress, four key high-end capability gaps will remain after the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission ends on Dec. 31, 2014: air support, intelligence enterprise, special operations, and Afghan security ministry capacity.
