Operation Enduring Freedom, March 2002-April 2005

U.S. Army’s search for a proper balance between counterterrorism and counterinsurgency operations as the enemy rebuilt his forces from safe havens in Pakistan. Finally, it chronicles the Army’s efforts to maintain an effective presence in Afghanistan while juggling the challenges of an indigenous population historically opposed to foreign forces and

the decreased resources available after the start of the Iraq war in 2003.  Operation Enduring Free dom, March 2002–April 2005, was written by historians Dr. Brian F. Neumann, Dr. Lisa Mundey, and Dr. Jon Mikolashek in the Histories Division of the Center of Military History.  We hope that you enjoy and profit from this dramatic but often overlooked

story of our Army in action in the Global War on Terrorism. It is the second in the Center’s series of campaign brochures on the U.S.

Army in Afghanistan.
