    REDESIGN IN PROGRESS

    REF: STATE 118297

    Classified By: Pol/Econ Chief Scott Brandon, Reasons 1.4(b) and (d)

    ¶1. (C) SUMMARY: In meetings with MFA officials responsible
    for Afghanistan policy, poloff delivered reftel points
    regarding USG expectations of the new Karzai government and
    solicited information on the redesign of the Swedish-Finnish
    PRT.  The interlocutors noted a lack of USG emphasis on
    follow-on elections and economic development while signaling
    an interest in hosting a visit from USG officials once a new
    Afghanistan strategy has been decided in Washington.  The
    Swedish-Finnish PRT redesign is likely to receive
    political-level approval before mid-2010 but is not likely to
    result in a civilian-led PRT.  Finland is likely to remove
    its four civilians from Mazar-e-Sharif while maintaining the
    current level of military forces.  When NATO solicits views
    from non-ally ISAF troop contributors, the GOF would
    appreciate more time to provide its input. END SUMMARY.

    ¶2. (C) On November 18 poloff delivered reftel points to MFA
    Afghanistan desk officer Niko Heimola.  While affirming that
    Finland broadly shared the same view of what was required of
    the Karzai government, Heimola noted that our points did not
    appear to mention setting the conditions for future
    parliamentary elections or place much emphasis on
    growth/development.  Poloff responded that preventing
    corruption would be essential to both of these goals.
    Regarding the need for the international community to support
    Afghan-led reconciliation and reintegration efforts, Heimola
    confirmed that the frequent suggestions of Defense Minister
    Hakamies that Finnish MP and EU Sudan/Darfur mediator Pekka
    Haavisto would be a good candidate to serve as a mediator in
    Afghanistan had not been discussed in the GOF.  NOTE: This
    confirms what we had previously heard. END NOTE  He further
    mentioned that reintegration is already going on at the local
    level in the Finnish-Swedish area of responsibility and that
    Finland was working to create &alternative livelihoods8 for
    former fighters.  He agreed that the process must be
    Afghan-led, local, and that results won,t happen quickly.

    ¶3. (SBU) Heimola indicated that the GOF would be eager to
    hear directly from U.S. officials after President Obama makes
    his decision on the new U.S. strategy.  He noted that many
    GOF officials will be difficult to reach from 25 December
    until 7 January.

    ¶4. (C) In a separate November 23 meeting with the Director of
    the MFA's Security Policy unit, Timo Kantola, poloff
    solicited information regarding the possible reconfiguration
    of the Finnish-Swedish PRT based in Mazar-e-Sharif.  A
    somewhat uncomfortable Kantola was dismissive of media
    reports indicating that the PRT could become civilian-led and
    that the number of Finnish troops might be doubled to two
    hundred.  "This is not what the Swedes are planning," Kantola
    indicated, going on to explain that the Swedes and Finns were
    unlikely to adopt the model being used by the Turks, also in
    Mazar-e-Sharif, under which Turkish soldiers provide the
    force protection while civilians are responsible for most
    other duties.  Kantola revealed that Finland was nlikely to
    continue fielding the four civilians it had in the PRT due to
    problems they posed in maintaining a clear chain of command
    and the different security standards prevailing for civilians
    and soldiers.  Kantola expected that the Finnish military
    contingent of the PRT would remain at about 100 soldiers but
    that Finland would probably provide a few more police
    trainers to EUPOL in order to rise from the current 24 to the
    goal of 30.  A political decision on implementing a
    redesigned PRT, whatever it might look like, is likely to
    come before April or May, with implementation in the last
    half of 2010, according to Kantola.  NOTE:  GOF sources had
    previously indicated that a decision was likely after
    April/May 2010 with implementation in 2011.  END NOTE.

    ¶5. (C) Kantola, whose unit is principally responsible for
    ISAF within the MFA, expressed some frustration with the
    short time windows in which non-ally ISAF troop contributors
    are asked to provide their input.  "We usually get a request
    for input in the evening and the response needs to be back in
    Brussels the next morning," he explained.  Even six more
    hours to formulate a response would be a welcome improvement
    and would go some way towards making Finland feel like its
    input was actually valued.  Kantola indicated that the GOF
    was examining its own internal information flow from its
    mission at NATO to ensure the speediest possible
    communication regarding ISAF matters.
