Counter Insurgency in Afghanistan
A Presentation by Owen Sirrs
Todd 203-204, UM Campus
7:00 p.m.
Counterinsurgency is the declared strategy of the United States and its allies to reverse the recent successes of the Taliban and other groups in Afghanistan. This lecture examines the fundamentals of the U.S.-led counterinsurgency strategy and explores its effects in the recent campaign in Afghanistan's volatile Helmand Province. Finally, whether counterinsurgency is the appropriate strategy will be discussed in light of fading international support for the Afghan effort, the legitimacy of the Afghan government and America's competing domestic and international priorities.
