We recently held a DoDLive Bloggers Roundtable with British Maj. Gen. Phil Jones, director of the Force Reintegration Cell for the International Security Assistance Force, on Thursday, May 12. He discussed the state of the Afghanistan Peace and Reintegration. According to Maj. Gen. Jones, more than 500 Afghans have come forward during the past 60 days to join, which brings the total number of reintegration candidates to nearly 1,200 former fighters from 13 provinces.
