===Training===
Kaskad operators were responsible for training KhAD personnel.<ref name="auto"/> KhAD officers had to go through a mandatory training course in [[Kabul]] where they were taught about [[military logistics]], how to recruit potential officers, organisation and how to identify covert meetings and networks. KhAD officers, starting from first lieutenant to lieutenant colonel, were given mandatory training at the KGB School at [[Balashikha]], [[Uzbekistan]], and other KGB training facilities.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.baltdefcol.org/files/files/documents/Research/BSDR2009/2_%20Evsikov%20-%20Soviet%20Intelligence%20in%20Afghanistan.pdf|title=Baltic Defence College - Home|access-date=12 October 2021|archive-date=28 October 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20211028165747/https://www.baltdefcol.org/files/files/documents/Research/BSDR2009/2_%2520Evsikov%2520-%2520Soviet%2520Intelligence%2520in%2520Afghanistan.pdf|url-status=dead}}</ref> Unlike the mandatory training in Kabul, the course in [[Tashkent]] included interrogation and criminal investigation techniques. High-ranking KhAD officers, starting from the rank of colonel and upwards, received additional mandatory training in [[Moscow]]. Unlike other techniques taught to officers in [[Kabul]], [[Balashikha]] and [[Uzbekistan]], the higher-ranking officers would receive training on management and policy issues, as well as financial affairs.<ref>https://www.statewatch.org/media/documents/news/2009/mar/afghanistan-ukba-c-of-origin-report.pdf {{Bare URL PDF|date=August 2024}}</ref>
