• W2993594906 abstract "Much of the writing about the Village Stability Operations/Afghan Local Police (VSO/ALP) Program in Afghanistan is of a theoretical nature. While this body of work sometimes uses a limited number of anecdotes to illustrate key concepts, it often lacks a long-term perspective on one area of the war and rarely integrates security, governance, and development initiatives simultaneously.1 Additionally, tribal leaders, fadtional histories, and a historical perspective are often missing in studies of VSO/ALP, where emphasis is generally placed upon the adtions of U.S. units, with Afghan efforts only peripherally discussed.2What is required is a holistic presentation of village stability operations in pradtice that balances U.S. efforts with Afghan initiatives and integrates all the key lines of operation in a manner the provides a long-term perspective on one district or village in Afghanistan.The district of Chora in the southern Afghanistan province of Uruzgan provides a unique opportunity to provide such a perspective. I originally worked in Uruzgan with the U.S. Department of State as the political officer to the Tarin Kowt Provincial Reconstruction Team in 2005-2006 and then returned to the province in 2012 as a mobilized reservist working as a tribal and political engagement officer at Special Operations Task Force-South East. These experiences as both a civilian and a member of the U.S. military provided me with a holistic perspective on the area and greatly informed my views on U.S. operations in the region. Additionally, because I served in the province for two lengthy periods of time separated by six years, I gained a long-term perspective of not just Uruzgan Province but of the district of Chora in particular.Uruzgan Province: The Heartland of the TalibanThe district of Chora is located just east of Uruzgan Provinces capital of Tarin Kowt and sits along the Karmisan River, which flows southwest and eventually feeds into the Helmand River. It is largely made up of barren desert and stark mountains. The population lives along densely packed green swathes of farmland, where local residents eke out a basic existence cultivating the arable land that collects in the river basin and at the bases of the mountains.The districts approximately 20,000 residents are divided into two sections by a mountain range that bisects the middle of the region from east to west. The whole area is predominately Pashtun and is generally divided into the Barakzai and Achikzai tribes in the northern portion and the Populzai in the south around the village of Chenartu. Mazaran and Baluch ethnic communities are also present, with the Mazaran population in larger numbers in the northern areas closer to the predominantly Mazaran province of Dai Kundi. The district borders Zabul Province to the south and Dai Kundi to the north, and the Uruzgan districts of IChas Uruzgan to the east, Tarin Kowt to the south, and Shahid-e-Hasas to the west.The Chora area has long served as a transit hub for insurgents from both Helmand and Zabul Provinces. They pour into the districts respectively west and east of Chora and their transit, finally, to the provincial capital of Tarin Kowt. The population is generally anti-Taliban because of their largely Durrani Pashtun tribal affiliation (the Taliban are typically affiliated with the Ghilzai tribal confederation) and are more naturally inclined to support the government of the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan (GIRoA).Chora: 2005 to 2006-The Taliban ReturnThe district of Chora was considered the safest in Uruzgan Province in late 2005. Although it did not have a coalition forces base located in its district center, the adtive patrolling of 25th Infantry Division units located in IChas Uruzgan District to its east, as well as patrols from the provincial capital of Tarin Kowt, dissuaded the Taliban from establishing a presence in the area. The key tribal chiefs of they Barakzai and Achikzai tribes in the area were substantial leaders in the province, the former being the provincial chief of police and the latter a member of parliament. …" @default.
