Honored to be privileged to work with these men and women to be part of something larger them themselves. So in the taliban ranks they will talk about that a little later but i wanted to ask about the military trends and dynamics how strong is the taliban right now and how is the fight going, how would you explain whats going on besides the point youve already made that this is a big transition but they are overwhelmingly doing it on their own besides that how else should we think about the trends and battlefield dynamics this year . I think again very tough fighting season. I would tell you that it started last year so its been kind of a continuous fighting season. When we talk in terms of the fighting season its until october but i think that we have seen from the very last number through the fall we had some political instability and the fighting continued and really Afghan Security forces started but we called the season on their own they didnt wait for the company in this year. Th
As one of those District Centers is taken over within hours the Afghan Security forces are taking it back. They have the ability now, the capability to react much quicker, to move forces all around the country to go back and take over those District Centers. I think thats a sign of progress as they move forward. Again, they have technology, they have the people they have the training. I think the difference this fighting season is getting the right leadership in place, holding the leaders accountable for the welfare of soldiers and police. And then building the moral of the folk as they continue to take the offensive. Theyre very defensive in nature. 80 of the Afghan Security forces are on check points and youre vulnerable to attacks. Thats where theyre taking a lot of their losses on the small check points. Afghan local police were designed to be the guardian tofs village. Theyre supposed to guard that village. But theyve employed them five kilometer, 10 kilometers outside of the vill
Security forces at the time they were trying to focus on another area that i think over time in the leadership and having a Corps Commander we went without one for about two and a half months so there was a little bit of a timeframe that they didnt have the right leadership they need it and once they moved the commander by the name of the Major General who was in town in the south they moved to the north when north when he got an opportunity to be on the ground and i think he made a difference in the north. But again we have seen fighting over afghanistan. He talked about the south end of the east and we have seen that in the last 13 or 14 years but the difference has been in the north where they express the Afghan Security forces. But i seem to react to that and again when they do the crossword nation and have the police and army and intel they cant he beat and i tell the Afghan Forces that the taliban dont have a nice 35417. It doesnt have the humvee. So it really gets down to the le
