An Afghan National Army (ANA) special forces candidate participates in a specialized training on weaponry at the School of Excellence in Kabul on April 19, 2014. The school trains and equips ANA special forces and commando candidates with advanced military skills to enhance the ANA's elite fighting forces. The ANA will soon be responsible for taking over military operations once NATO troops withdraw from Afghanistan this December. (Photo by Valerie Plesch/Special to The Washington Times)
