Counting People

We've increased the number of civilians working in Afghanistan for the State Department and the Defense Department.  Unfortunately, we don't know some basic information about these workers.  With regards to the State Department, we don't know where the workers are and what positions they hold.  As you would expect, the information relative to the Defense Department is worse: we don't know how many workers there are.

It's not as though the plans for these workers are new; the agencies have supposedly been working on this since January 2009.  The workers are there to help Afghanistan build a functioning government.  It would be nice if these agencies functioned well themselves.
