Summary:

"The United States will soon enter the 18th year of combat operations in Afghanistan. The original mission to topple the Taliban and establish an interim Afghan Government was accomplished within the first 12 months of the war, but mistakes were made and stability remained elusive. In the years following the 2001 Bonn Conference in Germany, multiple approaches emerged which included support to regional security, 'nation-building,' counterinsurgency, counternarcotics, counterterrorism, and creating an Afghan national security architecture from scratch. The layout of this monograph consists of four chapters which address the challenges in order, each concluding with specific policy recommendations. Appendices are included which summarize research and case studies. This approach allows the reader to scan for the main points and use the appendices to access underlying research and data in greater detail. Every strategy has prioritized efforts. The four well-known challenges with recommended approaches described herein should remain as the priority considerations for leaders and planners supporting the Afghanistan mission" -- Introduction.
