This report examines the changing patterns in the role of ISAF forces and the ANSF, the rise of ANSF forces and activity as ISAF cut back, the growing scale of Afghan led operations, and the historical trends in the formal transfer of given provinces to Afghan responsibility. The data involved have limited meaning because they only look at the number of operations and not their scale, purpose, or outcome. They also do not distinguish the success or failure, and nature of, insurgent operations.
