This extensive account of U.S. Army Special Operations soldiers and their actions in Afghanistan is an important contribution to understanding how these unique individuals removed the Taliban from power and destroyed al-Qaeda and Taliban strongholds in Afghanistan as part of the US global war on terrorism. The originating idea, research, and writing that went into it are strictly the product of the U.S. Army Special Operations Command and its assigned authors. The selected historical vignettes tell the ARSOF story. Many of these soldier stories demonstrate the capabilities of special operations forces (SOF)-unique equipment, while others point out the skills and bravery of the soldiers and aviators. The strength of ARSOF resides in its highly trained, very motivated soldiers. While technology plays a part in ARSOF, the soldiers make the difference. There has been a conscious effort to ensure that the stories of all ARSOF elements are presented. Thus, to provide a fair representative sampling of different activities within the security constraints, not all interviews became vignettes. One hundred-percent coverage of all participating teams was impossible. The examples selected were the best of those available to demonstrate a capability, illustrate an activity, or clarify a combat mission. The sensitive classified parts have been sanitized based on specifi c security rules, hence special forces elements do not always mean special forces teams, and pseudonyms are used predominantly. A limited-access U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USSOCOM) classifi ed annex of sources will contain true names and specify documents and briefi ngs to corroborate the material included. The controlled classifi ed annex will not be available to researchers who do not have the appropriate security clearances and a clear "need to know."

U.S. Army Special Operations in Afghanistan chronicles the "boots on the ground" actions by U.S. Army Special Operations Command (USASOC) from September 11, 2001, until May 15, 2002. What makes this book so significant is that the history was captured as USASOC troops (Green Berets, Rangers, PsyOps, SpecOps Aviation and Civil Affairs) were fighting the war, providing an easily understood snapshot of the war as it happened during those first critical months. The authors include the mistakes, frustrations and failures of the war along with the successes. Rather than an armchair historian's overall strategic view 10 years later, it is an account of what individuals and small teams did with bravery, skill and honor on a day-to-day basis to rid Afghanistan of the Taliban and al-Qaeda terrorists, and assist the Afghan people and begin the vital work of rebuilding the infrastructure of Afghanistan

This study ascribes the lack of progress in Afghanistan more to forces and donors working at cross-purposes than to insufficient resources. The authors call for an indirect approach that emphasizes working through indigenous forces. They cite U.S. special operations forces (SOF) failure to support counterinsurgency objectives as an example of military units working at cross-purposes. The authors recommend three ways to improve unity of effort: all Operation ¿Enduring Freedom¿ forces (except SOF) should be merged into one common mission with international forces; decisionmaking authority between U.S. military and civilian leaders should be clarified; and SOF operations must focus on the indirect approach.

The wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan were lost before they began, not on the battlefields, where the United States won every tactical engagement, but at the strategic level of war. In each case, the U.S. Government attempted to create a Western-style democracy in countries which were decades at least away from being nations with the sociopolitical capital necessary to sustain democracy and, most importantly, accept it as a legitimate source of governance. The expensive indigenous armies created in the image of the U.S. Army lacked both the motivation to fight for illegitimate governments in Saigon, Baghdad, and Kabul and a cause that they believed was worth dying for, while their enemies in the field clearly did not. This book examines the Afghan National Security Forces in historical and political contexts, explains why they will fail at the tactical, operational and strategic levels of war, why they cannot and will not succeed in holding the southern half of the country, and what will happen in Afghanistan year-by-year from 2015 to 2019. Finally, it examines what the critical lessons unlearned of these conflicts are for U.S. military leaders, why these fundamental political lessons seem to remain unlearned, and how the strategic mistakes of the past can be avoided in the future.

Low Intensity conflict was inherited by Pakistan from the British Indian Empire.Low Intensity conflict remained the central part of Pakistani history from the earliest days.The Pakistani state waged the first Low Intensity war in Kashmir with major inputs by British officers civilian and military serving in Pakistan after independence.In the 1960s the ISI supervised small low intensity conflicts in Indias North East Frontier areas.The greatest experiment however took place when the Afghan war commenced in 1978 initially with British support and from 1979 with US support and Pakistan became a massive Proxy base against the USSR forces in Afghanistan.While the USA withdrew in 1979 the ISI inherited a huge proxy war base that was maintained and diverted to other fronts like Indian held Kashmir as well as civil war plagued Afghanistan.The huge Afghan proxy war base was now remodeled to support Pakistani proxies in Afghanistan.The so called Afghan Mujahideen proxies of USA and Pakistan and the west were now divided on ethnic basis with non Pashtuns and moderate Muslim Pashtuns becoming US/Western/Indian/Russian proxies and Pashtuns/extremist Muslims becoming Pakistani proxies.In 1994 Pakistan midwife the so called Taliban movement which captured Kabul with Pakistani.The Pakistani establishment saw Afghanistan as a massive proxy reservoir with which Pakistan could redress and balance the strategic grievance that it was with India over the Jammu and Kashmir state since 1947.The USA had strategically abandoned Pakistan after 1989 and came close to declaring Pakistan a terrorist state by 1999.The Pakistani establishment searched for alternatives and by 1999-2002 came to the conclusion that China was Pakistans best strategic choice.Traditionally the Muslims of India and Pakistan were saved from total subjugation and political extinction by Hindus and Sikhs by the English East India Companys arrival in 1803-49 , when English East India Company destroyed the Hindu Marathas and the Sikhs in the period mentioned.After Independence Pakistani ruling establishment searched for strategic allies and saviours and found the USA in the period 1947-54.So Pakistan became a US concubine in return for US economic and military aid.The Pakistani US love affair lasted till 1971 after which Pakistans charismatic civilian Premier courted with idealism in shape of quest for nuclear weapons ,Islamic bloc and third world.This romantic experiment collapsed in 1977 with a US bank rolled agitation movement and a coup detat by a US cultivated Pakistani army general.Pakistan again became a US concubine and a massive proxy base for US led Soviet Afghan Proxy war.The USA abruptly left the scene in 1989 practically surrendering Afghanistan to the Pakistani state.In 2001 when the USA occupied Afghanistan it did not invade the Taliban but Pakistans strategic backyard.This important fact was not fully grasped and understood by the USA.
