Joseph F. Dunford Jr. presided over the change of command ceremony held in the CJIATF 435 Headquarters courtyard.Ayyar, who has been in the Air Force for 26 years, has served as the 435 deputy commanding general since October 2012. Prior to that, he commanded the Air Force Recruiting Service at Joint Base San Antonio-Randolph, Texas. Ayyar began his remarks reminding his forces of the importance of their new responsibilities.“Every day in this mission we must protect our nation’s values and, by extension, our nation’s forces. Every day in this mission we must support our campaign and its centers of gravity – our strategic alignment with the broader campaign remains critical.”CJIATF 435 trains, advises and assists the Afghan National Army and the Afghan Justice Sector to develop Rule of Law-based investigation, prosecution and detention. It also conducts U.S. Law of Armed Conflict detainee operations for third-country nationals. Touching on how the organization began focusing on U.S. LOAC detention operations and now focuses on building the capacity of Afghans, the brigadier general stressed that the 435 mission will end by creating the same capabilities operated by the Afghans under Afghan law.“None of this will be easy, but I’m confident that we’re up to the task, as is the larger campaign, in setting the conditions for security that will ultimately lead a historic political transition,” Ayyar said. “The legacy of CJIATF 435 must be Afghanistan’s capacity, capability and will to investigate, prosecute and incarcerate insurgent and terror-related crimes – to keep their own nation, our forces, the region and ultimately our nation safe from attack in the years to come.” read more
