Transition
For Afghans, transition is a “journey to self-reliance:”
• Security Operations:
international lead  GIRoA lead
• Development:
stability programming  sustainable development
• PRT Evolution:
military-led  civilian-led standard development models
• Assistance:
donor-driven programs  on-budget donor assistance
• Detentions:
gradual shift to GIRoA lead
• PSCs:
gradual shift to ANSF-led security
Transition is not an objective in and of itself, but a conditions-driven
process and a necessary step on the way to success.

Irreconcilable insurgent leaders and networks are
neutralized to a level manageable for the ANSF
and rejected by the Afghan population, limited in
their destabilizing influence, and denied safe
havens in Afghanistan.

Illicit Finance
Key nodes within the nexus of criminals, narcotics,
and illicit finance are identified and disrupted,
depriving the insurgency of funding, and bolstering
GIRoA legitimacy.
