On 5 August 2014, at approximately 1155 local time, an Afghan National Army\u00a0(ANA) Military Policeman (MP) opened fire on a large group of Coalition and Afghan\u00a0Forces who were conducting a series of briefings at the Marshal Fa him National\u00a0Defense University (MFNDU) in Kabul, Afghanistan.<\/p>\n
MG Harold Greene, DCG,\u00a0Combined Security Transition Command -Afghanistan (CSTC-A), was killed and 18\u00a0other Coalition and Afghan Forces were injured. The shooter \u00a0was also killed.<\/p>\n
No negligence on the part of event planners or leaders present. This incident could\u00a0not have been reasonably foreseen or prevented, appearing as an isolated act of a\u00a0determined shooter without indicators or warnings.<\/p>\n
Visits are a daily occurrence to the\u00a0MFNDU site. The Afghan National Army Officer Academy (ANAOA) alone has hosted\u00a0over 100 in 9 months. Group sizes often exceed 20 personnel, and multiple VIPs are\u00a0not uncommon. Planning for this event was conducted as all others have been before\u00a0and deemed sufficient. Recommendations (below) can help to mitigate future risk.<\/p>\n
Actions of Security Team members in neutralizing the shooter, rendering first aid,\u00a0and evacuating casualties was superb. Despite the lack of coordinated planning,\u00a0execution was swift and lives were undoubtedly saved as a result.<\/p>\n
