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 (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.
