CURRENT MANAGEMENT OF LAND OPERATIONS AT TACTICAL LEVEL IN ISAF
CURRENT MANAGEMENT OF LAND OPERATIONS AT TACTICAL LEVEL IN ISAF

Summary/Abstract: The author takes an approach to the military conflict in Afghanistan, especially as far as land operations at tactical level are concerned, wondering whether any spectacular developments will occur in 2011 in the battlespace. He points out the significance of a robust and flexible command and control system, able to face the challenges of the land, given the circumstances of a huge theatre of operations (a country with 34 provinces), with almost nonexistent infrastructure and support of the local community. Within this complex system, the Combined Joint Operations Centre (CJOC), settled in Kabul since 2006, is a key element in providing timely information to the Joint Command Mission (Mission Commander – COMISAF) to ensure the decisions to be made, in compliance with an accepted mission, which is to lead operations in partnership with the Afghan Government, in cooperation with the operational expeditionary force, the UN Assistance Mission in Afghanistan (UNAMA) and the international community for promoting stability and continuous development in Afghanistan.
