commanders’ winter campaign implementation plans focused on their<br />
limitations and equipment requests.<br />
• Conduct of operations—The ANDSF headquarters elements<br />
demonstrated improved ability to conduct combined-arms operations,<br />
executed several successful summer campaign operations, and prevented<br />
the Taliban from achieving any of their stated operational goals.<br />
The Coalition continues to focus train-advise-assist efforts on combatenabler<br />
capabilities such as intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance<br />
(ISR), artillery, aerial fires, and counter-IED capabilities. DOD reported<br />
the ANDSF has demonstrated increased operational capabilities such as<br />
independently planning intelligence-driven operations and integrating air<br />
power, as they have with the A-29 and the MD-530 aircraft, into operations<br />
planning. 186 According to DOD, AAF close air attack and armed overwatch<br />
capabilities are still developing; nonetheless, their increasing close-airattack<br />
capability has bolstered ANDSF ground forces’ motivation and<br />
enhanced their will to fight. 187 DOD attributes the improving integration of<br />
ISR and aerial fires as a key factor contributing to ANDSF successes across<br />
the country as compared with 2015 when these capabilities were nascent. 188<br />
