A plan was created to have veteran contractors assigned to each Afghan battalion in order to provide leadership, expertise, and support. This was inspired by the successful model of the East India Company. These contractors would live with the Afghan units and build strong connections with them. By employing veterans on a rotating basis, they could develop deep relationships with the Afghan soldiers over time. This approach aimed to overcome the challenge of frequent troop rotations and establish a more effective and sustained presence in Afghanistan.
