U.S. General John Campbell: U.S. Gen.: We need new Afghanistan plan - CNNPolitics.com
Washington (CNN)The top commander of U.S. forces in Afghanistan said Tuesday that he needs to adjust troop level recommendations to respond to the growing strength of ISIS and al Qaeda.
Gen. John Campbell told the Senate Armed Services committee he has presented options for revising President Barack Obama's plan for slashing the U.S. troop presence after 2016 from its current level of about 9,800 to an embassy-based security force of 1,000.
"Based on conditions on the ground, I do believe we have to provide our senior leadership [with] options different than the current plan we are going with," Campbell said.
He did not provide details about the troops levels he was recommending.
Campbell said the reasons for revamping the existing plan include the strengthening of ISIS, "an increased al Qaeda presence," and the "upsurge" in insurgent violence in some areas of Afghanistan.
