| Summary/Abstract |
In summer 2006, elements of the British Army were deployed to Helmand province in southern Afghanistan. The US Army followed with a surge in 2009 and 2010. The British and American military forces attempted to construct a counterinsurgency (COIN) approach to win the war in Helmand from 2006 until 2011, but the operational approach implemented was most often that of conventional warfighting. The inability to successfully implement COIN owed not to a lack of will, but rather to short tours, mission command, a lack of available resources, the particular situation on the ground in Helmand and the propensity of the Taliban to launch major conventional operations during much of the period in question.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article examines Britain's capabilities and resources in Helmand Province, and assesses the high-level strategy and civilian-military inter-relationships that provide the overarching framework of current operations. In doing so, Theo Farrell and Stuart Gordon analyse the British counter-insurgency approach, arguing that the UK's troops have faced and overcome unique challenges in Afghanistan.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Afghans will indeed be ready to take over their own security by 2014, writes the former commander of the ISAF Joint Command. The size and quality of Afghanistan's armed services have increased drastically over the last few years, and the United States' decision to focus on good local governance, especially in key areas, has pacified the most important parts of the country.

| Summary/Abstract |
As U.S. marines fought in Marja last year, they captured the weapons used by Taliban fighters. These arms -- from British Lee-Enfields to Soviet Kalashnikovs to Czech vz. 58s -- tell the story of how many modern wars are fought.

| Summary/Abstract |
The Tactical Conflict Assessment Framework was used by British forces in Helmand Province to attempt to quantitatively understand how best to combat the insurgency in Afghanistan - but it was soon discontinued. David Wilson and Gareth Conway examine why this method fell out of favour, the specific lessons learnt, and what methodologies may be more appropriate.
