Description

A Different Kind of War is balanced and honest. Its publication was particularly timely as both the Army and the Department of Defense were beginning to reassess and restructure the campaign in Afghanistan.  This study will shed a great deal of light on the overall course of Operation ENDURING FREEDOM (OEF). As the title suggests, the campaign in Afghanistan was unique. While its initial phases featured the use of small teams of Special Operations Forces and air power, the campaign after 2002 evolved into a broader effort in which conventional forces were responsible for the creation of security, reconstruction, and programs to train the Afghan Army.  Overall, the story in these pages is one of a relatively small number of Soldiers conducting multifaceted operations on difficult terrain and within a complex cultural environment.

Audience

This publication would be useful to the military's analysis and strategy communities, military commanders and staff officers at all levels, policymakers, members of government and defense agencies/contractors, and members of military-focused committees.  This publication would also be useful to historians and students engaged with historical/political/military studies.
