ISAF Observations

• ANSF / ISAF and SOF

operations continue to show

marked gains in main effort

areas.

• Nationwide, enemy-initiated

attacks reported January

through August 2011 are down

3 percent compared to 2010.

• ISAF had expected a 17 – 30

percent increase in enemy-

initiated attacks for 2011

based, in part, on the increase

in Combined Team force

strength which included

10,000 to 25,000 more ISAF

troops and 60,000 more

ANSF troop/police in

Afghanistan in 2011 compared

to 2010.

Enemy-Initiated Attacks Nationwide Monthly Year-Over-Year Change

NON SENSITIVE INFORMATION RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC

Definition: This chart shows the year-over-year change in enemy-initiated attacks

(EIA). The total number of EIAs is shown in the background (light blue). The red

bars represent an increase of monthly enemy-initiated attacks compared to the

same month the year before; blue bars represent a decrease. The changes over

three month periods are depicted at the top of the chart.

ISAF Observations

• Enemy-initiated attacks for

the period June – August

2011 are 17 percent lower

than the same period in

2010.

• In 17 of the past 22 weeks

through the week of 23

September, enemy-initiated

attacks are lower than the

same week in 2010.

• Since May of this year,

Enemy-Initiated Attacks (EIA) Monthly Year-Over-Year Change by RC (Jan 08 – Aug 11)

NON SENSITIVE INFORMATION RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC 4

39% of Nationwide violence

ISAF Observations • The comparative charts use the

same scale to allow a direct, intuitive

comparison of the different magnitudes

of monthly enemy-initiated attacks by

Regional Command (RC).

• Marked success in RC Southwest:

Attacks during the period June –

August 2011 are 40 percent lower than

last year; some districts in the Central

Helmand River Valley have seen

reductions in violence of nearly 80

percent, particularly Marjeh, Nad’Ali,

and Garm Ser. This improvement in

the security situation is attributable to

successful comprehensive CIVIL-

MILITARY counterinsurgency

operations.

• Emerging success in RC South:

Enemy-initiated attacks reported

during the period June – August 2011

were 10 percent lower than the same

period last year.

• Continued challenges in RC East:

Attacks continue to increase in RC

East; 17 percent higher for the period

June – August 2011 compared to the

same time period in 2010.

Nationwide IED Activity Executed Attacks

NON SENSITIVE INFORMATION RELEASABLE TO THE PUBLIC

Definition: IED activity comprises explosive hazard events, to include executed

attacks (improvised explosive device (IED) explosions / mine strikes) and attempted

or potential attacks, such as IEDs that were found and cleared, premature IED

detonations, or IED turn ins).

Data Source: Afghan Mission Network (AMN) Combined Information Data Network

Exchange (CIDNE) Database, as of 29 Sep 2011.

ISAF Observations • Insurgents continue to rely on IEDs to compensate for their degraded capacity. IED activity from June to August is 25 percent greater in 2011 than in 2010, while insurgent-initiated direct fire attacks decreased by 30 percent for the same period of time. • Over 70 percent of insurgent-caused CIVCAS result from IED strikes. • Year-to-date IED explosions have increased 5 percent compared to 2010.

• The rate of IEDs that are found and cleared without detonation is 55 percent of total planted IEDs, an improvement over last year’s rate of 45 percent. This improvement in finding / clearing IEDs is attributable to increased local national assistance (tips), improved counter-IED tactics, and increases in ANSF-led operations.
