Marines show US institutions to Afghan officials (AP)

SAN DIEGO ? Top Afghan Army and police officials who will oversee security in one of the country's hardest-fought provinces are visiting California this week to get a firsthand look at how the U.S. teaches its children, treats its prisoners and patrols its border with Mexico.

The three-day tour hosted by the Marine Corps starts Wednesday and is part of efforts to professionalize Afghanistan's security forces so they can take over from U.S. troops by 2014.

The Afghan officials will meet educators at an elementary school at Camp Pendleton, north of San Diego, and will visit a checkpoint manned by the U.S. Border Patrol. They also will be taken by military helicopter to Los Angeles County, where they will visit a county jail and meet Los Angeles Police Department officials.
