counter the legendary corruption among afghan security forces. there's no real banking system for everyday afghans, so traditionally, if you want to a his commanding officer in cash. then the commanding officer doles out whatever cash he thinks that soldier should get. totally ripe for corruption, right? soldiers don't know what exactly they're entitled to and commanders take whatever they can get away with. to get around that, the nato training mission in afghanistan has started paying soldiers by cell phone. although there isn't a robust banking system and literacy is not great, every soldier can be counted on to have a mobile phone so when payday comes, afghan soldiers get sent on their phone a message containing the amount they're due to be paid and a code. they then take that to a mobile phone shop and the shop gives them their pay. the idea is to standardize and professionalize the military and cut commanding officers out of an opportunity to steal from their troops. the corrupt commander officers, though, have adapted as well. rather than just directly stealing cash from their soldiers on payday like they used to, now they've started
