Afghanistan is turning around

There has been speculation that, while Iraq is responding to the COIN methodology of David Petraeus, Afghanistan was being lost. Some of this is the ineptitude of NATO forces that have been so risk averse that they have barricaded themselves in their bases and ignored the Afghans. Given the lack of political support in their home countries, avoiding casualties has been a major consideration, if not the only one.

This report suggests that things are not that bad and/or are getting better using the same COIN tactics that we use in Iraq. This suggests that the Army has been successfully transformed since 2003 and the lessons learned will remain as the junior officers rise in the Army command structure. The Marines were already preparing for the COIN warfare of the 21st century.
