Another Step Toward the End of US Detention Operations in Afghanistan

Transfer of the Detention Facility in Parwan (DFIP) from American to Afghan control has begun.  The first step?  Appointment of Maj. Gen. Faroq Barekzai to command the facility. To the best of my knowledge, the memorandum of understanding governing this transfer process is not in the public record, and so key details about how this is going to work remain unclear to outsiders.  We do get the following tidbit from DOD's press release, however:

Under the terms of a memorandum of understanding signed March 9, the United States will provide ongoing support and advice to the Afghan commander for up to one year.

This could signify that, in practice, the US will still exercise no small degree of practical control for "up to one year," even though formal US control of the facility will terminate in less than six months.  It certainly implies that, beyond one year, the US role will be finished not just in formal but also in practical terms.
