McChrystal reports to General [[David Petraeus]], head of Central Command.
In August 2009, McChrystal reported on the dire conditions in Afghanistan to Secretary of Defense [[Robert Gates]]. He asked for 30,000-40,000 additional troops, warning that "Although considerable effort and sacrifice have resulted in some progress, many indicators suggest the overall effort is deteriorating" and added that there is "the urgent need for a significant change to our strategy." <ref>http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/sep/21/mcchrystal-warns-failure-afghan-war/</ref>
