Publication Type: Conference Paper/Unpublished Manuscript Review Method: Peer Reviewed Abstract: Following the successful early campaign in Afghanistan which resulted in the unseating of the Taliban and the dispersion of al Qaeda, the US military operations in the country appeared to stagnate. Indeed, after March 2003, the military operations took a clear backseat to those in Iraq. Yet, early in 2004, the US military changed tactics in Afghanistan, increasing manpower in the country and undertaking activities reminiscent of the early days of the US campaign in Vietnam. Small units enter villages, providing security for the opposition-often in highly conspicuous methods-and providing economic assistance and social reforms. Such activities, as in the early 1960s, appear to be successful. Villagers appear less willing to support the Taliban or other opposition groups in those villages where the US military has functioned and more willing to aid the Americans and the Karzai government. This paper will explore this shift in tactics in light of similar steps taken in the early stages of the Vietnam War, focusing on the question of why such a successful policy was abandoned in Vietnam and what lessons Vietnam presents for the United States in Afghanistan.
