Download or read book Coalition Challenges in Afghanistan written by Gale A. Mattox and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 2015-12-02 with total page 353 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines the experiences of a range of countries in the conflict in Afghanistan, with particular focus on the demands of operating within a diverse coalition of states. After laying out the challenges of the Afghan conflict in terms of objectives, strategy, and mission, case studies of 15 coalition members—each written by a country expert—discuss each country's motivation for joining the coalition and explore the impact of more than 10 years of combat on each country's military, domestic government, and populace. The book dissects the changes in the coalition over the decade, driven by both external factors—such as the Bonn Conferences of 2001 and 2011, the contiguous Iraq War, and politics and economics at home—and internal factors such as command structures, interoperability, emerging technologies, the surge, the introduction of counterinsurgency doctrine, Green on Blue attacks, escalating civilian casualties, and the impact of the Provincial Reconstruction Teams and NGOs. In their conclusion, the editors review the commonality and uniqueness evident in the country cases, lay out the lessons learned by NATO, and assess the potential for their application in future alliance warfare in the new global order.

This book was released on 2013-01-31 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is a continuation of a series of Congressionally mandated, command requested, and/or self-generated reports published by the Office of Inspector General's Special Plans and Operations Directorate that focus on the train and equip missions in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan. General areas discussed in these reports include: Accountability of weapons transferred to the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces, Accountability of night vision devices transferred to the Iraqi Security Forces, Effectiveness/responsiveness of the Foreign Military Sales system in support of the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces, Logistics development of the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces, Effectiveness of U.S. and Coalition efforts to develop the Iraqi and Afghan Security Forces, and Review of the Coalition Support Fund Program and other DoD security assistance/cooperation programs with Pakistan. On August 15, 2011, the DoDIG announced the “Assessment of U.S. Government and Coalition Efforts to Develop the Afghan Local Police,” (Project No. D2011-D00SPO-0277-000). The objectives of this assessment were to determine whether: Planning and operational implementation efforts by U.S./Coalition Forces to recruit, train, advise and assist in the development of the Afghan Local Police (ALP) was effective. This included evaluating output/outcome at ALP locations at various stages of their life cycle to determine the effectiveness of U.S./Coalition involvement in developing the ALP and Ministry of Interior (MoI) capability to manage the program. Plans, training, preparation and designated missions of the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF)/United States Forces-Afghanistan (USFOR-A), North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) Training Mission-Afghanistan (NTM-A)/Combined Security Transition Command-Afghanistan (CSTC-A), ISAF Joint Command (IJC), and Coalition Forces Special Operations Component Command-Afghanistan (CFSOCC-A) to train, advise and assist in the development of the ALP are integrated across all levels of U.S./Coalition commands/staffs, as well as between Coalition commands and the MoI/Afghan National Police (ANP).
Book Synopsis NATO in the Crucible by : Deborah L. Hanagan
Download or read book NATO in the Crucible written by Deborah L. Hanagan and published by Hoover Press. This book was released on 2019-09-01 with total page 383 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) became involved in security operations during the War in Afghanistan, it faced a range of complex challenges, including a highly motivated Afghan insurgency that changed over time and repeatedly defied assumptions.Conflicts within NATO also posed challenges. The alliance brought together a quarter of the world's nations, each with its own goals and interests, in an effort to stabilize an agrarian country that posed no immediate security threat. For more than a decade, through changes in leadership and strategy, the nations experienced bitter disagreements, resentments, and a conflict that escalated to a level of violence and uncertainty few had anticipated.In NATO in the Crucible, Deborah Lynn Hanagan analyzes these challenges and explains how the alliance maintained cohesion despite them. She examines why NATO succeeded in Afghanistan when history suggests most coalitions fracture under such intense pressure. In the end, she argues, member nations summoned the political will and organizational capacity to cooperate and endure. And they agreed, above all, that failure in Afghanistan would be catastrophic—both for NATO and for the world.
Book Synopsis NATO in Afghanistan by : David P. Auerswald
Download or read book NATO in Afghanistan written by David P. Auerswald and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2014-01-05 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern warfare is almost always multilateral to one degree or another, requiring countries to cooperate as allies or coalition partners. Yet as the war in Afghanistan has made abundantly clear, multilateral cooperation is neither straightforward nor guaranteed. Countries differ significantly in what they are willing to do and how and where they are willing to do it. Some refuse to participate in dangerous or offensive missions. Others change tactical objectives with each new commander. Some countries defer to their commanders while others hold them to strict account. NATO in Afghanistan explores how government structures and party politics in NATO countries shape how battles are waged in the field. Drawing on more than 250 interviews with senior officials from around the world, David Auerswald and Stephen Saideman find that domestic constraints in presidential and single-party parliamentary systems--in countries such as the United States and Britain respectively--differ from those in countries with coalition governments, such as Germany and the Netherlands. As a result, different countries craft different guidelines for their forces overseas, most notably in the form of military caveats, the often-controversial limits placed on deployed troops. Providing critical insights into the realities of alliance and coalition warfare, NATO in Afghanistan also looks at non-NATO partners such as Australia, and assesses NATO's performance in the 2011 Libyan campaign to show how these domestic political dynamics are by no means unique to Afghanistan.

Book Synopsis Reconstructing the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces: Lessons from the U.S. Experience in Afghanistan by : Special Inspector for Afghanistan Reconstruction (U.S.)
Download or read book Reconstructing the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces: Lessons from the U.S. Experience in Afghanistan written by Special Inspector for Afghanistan Reconstruction (U.S.) and published by U.S. Independent Agencies and Commissions. This book was released on 2017-08 with total page 277 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This publication is the second in a series of lessons learned reports which examine how the U.S. government and Departments of Defense, State, and Justice carried out reconstruction programs in Afghanistan. In particular, the report analyzes security sector assistance (SSA) programs to create, train and advise the Afghan National Defense and Security Forces (ANDSF) between 2002 and 2016. This publication concludes that the effort to train the ANDSF needs to continue, and provides recommendations for the SSA programs to be improved, based on lessons learned from careful analysis of real reconstruction situations in Afghanistan. The publication states that the United States was never prepared to help create Afghan police and military forces capable of protecting that country from internal and external threats. It is the hope of the Special Inspector General for Afghanistan Reconstruction (SIGAR), John F. Sopko, that this publication, and other SIGAR reports will create a body of work that can help provide reasonable solutions to help United States agencies and military forces improve reconstruction efforts in Afghanistan.

Book Synopsis Counterinsurgency in Eastern Afghanistan 2004-2008 by : Robert Kemp
Download or read book Counterinsurgency in Eastern Afghanistan 2004-2008 written by Robert Kemp and published by Vellum. This book was released on 2014-09 with total page 223 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the 2001 ouster of the Taliban from Afghanistan, the United States and its allies found themselves in a country devastated by a series of wars. This book looks at how, working with their Afghan counterparts, they engaged in a complex effort to rebuild security, development, and governance, all while fighting a low-intensity war. "Robert Kemp's candid account of the joint efforts of American military officers and civilians to help local government officials and ordinary citizens in remote, often dangerous areas to reconstruct their war-torn country is a valuable contribution to our understanding of American achievements and failures in Afghanistan. It also usefully illustrates how 21st-century challenges have greatly widened the range of activities our diplomats must pursue." HOWARD B. SCHAFFER, U.S. Ambassador (ret.) "Robert Kemp's Counterinsurgency in Eastern Afghanistan 2004-2008: A Civilian Perspective is a must-read for all those following developments in Afghanistan since 2001. The book succeeds both as thoughtful analysis and as a practical guide for military and civilian personnel in the field. Perhaps its greatest value is that the approach taken is relevant not only for Afghanistan but also for other regions of the world where similar conditions exist." ARTURO MUNOZ, RAND Corporation
Book Synopsis Afghanistan from the Cold War through the War on Terror by : Barnett R. Rubin
Download or read book Afghanistan from the Cold War through the War on Terror written by Barnett R. Rubin and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2013-03-15 with total page 528 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of our foremost authorities on modern Afghanistan, Barnett R. Rubin has dedicated much of his career to the study of this remote mountain country. He served as a special advisor to the late Ambassador Richard Holbrooke during his final mission to the region and still serves the Obama administration under Holbrooke's successor, Ambassador Marc Grossman. Now Rubin distills his unmatched knowledge of Afghanistan in this invaluable book. He shows how the Taliban arose in resistance to warlords some of whom who were raping and plundering with impunity in the vacuum of authority left by the collapse of the Afghan state after the Soviet withdrawal. The Taliban built on a centuries-old tradition of local leadership by students and teachers at independent, rural madrasas--networks that had been marginalized by the state-building royal regime that was itself destroyed by the Soviets and radicalized by the resistance to the invasion. He examines the arrival of Arab Islamists, the missed opportunities after the American-led intervention, the role of Pakistan, and the challenges of reconstruction. Rubin provides first-hand accounts of the bargaining at both the Bonn Talks of 2001 and the Afghan Constitutional Loya Jirga of 2003-2004, in both of which he participated as a UN advisor. Throughout, he discusses the significance of ethnic rivalries, the drug trade, human rights, state-building, US strategic choices, and international organizations, analyzing the missteps in these areas taken by the international community since 2001. The book covers events till the start of the Obama administration, and the final chapters provide an inside look at some of the thinking that is shaping today's policy debates inside the administration. Authoritative, nuanced, and sweeping in scope, Afghanistan in the Post-Cold War Era provides deep insight into the greatest foreign policy challenge facing America today.
