Strategic Assessment
Situation is serious and the conflict is complex
Resilient and growing insurgency
Lack of confidence by population stemming from weak Government of
Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA) institutions, corruption, lack of
economic opportunity and insufficient physical protection.

Mission can succeed but requires a fundamentally new approach

Operational culture of ISAF: focus Counter-insurgency (COIN) on winning
support of the people.
Stronger security partnership: accelerate Afghan National Security Forces
(ANSF) and partner at all levels.
Responsive and accountable governance: an equal priority with security.
Internal ISAF organizational changes: Unity of Command, Unity of Effort.

Time is critical. ISAF must be properly resourced to gain and

maintain the initiative while ANSF capacity and capability is built.

ISAF Focus District Overview

Limited capacity requires focused prioritization of resources

Summary
Total: 80
Annual Growth Projections:
2009 25
2010 45 (20 more)
2011 70 (25 more)
2012 80 (10 more)
2013 80
2014 80

The districts in the area outside of the identified focus districts have varying
degrees of threat and security. It is possible that security, governance and
development activities take place. However, weight of effort and prioritzation
should orient on the focus districts.

Selection Criteria:
Density of population
Threatened Population
Nature of threat
Impact to stability
Infrastructure
Governance capacity
Economic potential
Relationship to adjacent
population centers
Relationship to national /
regional economic corridors
87

Risks
GIRoA:
Failure to provide accountable, legitimate and responsive governance.

ANSF:
Lack of capacity due to poor recruiting, retention and high attrition.
Failure to develop operationally effective COIN forces.

International Community:
Failure to effectively unify governance and development efforts.
Lack of flexibility to reconfigure and create strategic effects.

NATO and Troop Contributing Nations:

Inability / unwillingness to conduct effective ISAF COIN campaign.
Reluctance to sustain long
long-term
term commitment and resources.
resources
88

Key Takeaways
Analysis indicates:
indicates:
The insurgency presently has the initiative and the population perceives it.
it
Expansion of the insurgency is outpacing GIRoAs capacity to contain it.
Success requires that we control a significant percentage of the population and
regain the initiative.
Feasible ANSF growth alone cannot contain the insurgency before 2012/2013.
Risk increases over time if force levels are insufficient
Insufficient force levels dont accomplish the mission slower....
they don
dontt accomplish the mission at all.
Additional Coalition Forces are required between 2009-2011 to gain momentum,
buy time for ANSF generation, and overmatch the insurgency.
