Since 1978, Afghanistan has experienced nearly constant conflict, beginning with the Soviet invasion and installation of a communist government. Throughout the 1980s, mujahideen resistance fighters received support from the U.S. and others to combat Soviet forces. After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, the mujahideen took control but then fractured and fought amongst each other, leading to civil war. The Taliban emerged in the 1990s and established control over most of the country, except for the northern alliance. In 2001, U.S.-led forces removed the Taliban from power following the 9/11 attacks, but conflict has continued as the Taliban wages an insurgency against the U.S.-backed Afghan government.

The document provides background information on Afghanistan. It discusses the country's history from 1747 when it existed as a Muslim state, through periods of lost and regained territory. In 1978, pro-Communist rebels overthrew the president, trying to improve women's rights and freedom of religion, which some groups opposed. The Soviet Union then invaded in 1979 to support the pro-Communist government and spread Communism. Islamic rebels called mujihadeen fought back against the new government. The U.S. got involved during the Cold War to weaken the Soviet Union by supporting the mujihadeen with weapons, money, and intelligence. After the Soviet withdrawal in 1989, warlords fought for control and the Taliban
War in Afghanistan
Al-Qaeda was formed in the late 1980s in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. It was led by Osama bin Laden and aimed to attack US interests. After 9/11, the US invaded Afghanistan to remove al-Qaeda and the Taliban regime harboring them. While the Taliban was removed from power, al-Qaeda and insurgent groups remain active as the US struggles to establish a stable democratic government in Afghanistan amid ongoing issues like a resilient Taliban, drug trafficking, and a difficult mountainous terrain.
Soviet afghan war final
The Soviet invasion of Afghanistan from 1979 to 1989 ultimately ended in stalemate, with the Soviets forced to withdraw after heavy losses. The invasion was an attempt to spread communism and create a friendly eastern state, but faced resistance from conservative Muslim Afghans opposed to Marxist rule. Guerilla warfare by Afghan mujahideen fighters weakened the Soviets over time and drove them to withdraw in 1989, though Afghanistan remained unstable. The costly war contributed to the decline and fall of the Soviet Union.

The document discusses the origins and evolution of al Qaeda stemming from the Soviet-Afghan war in the late 1970s and 1980s. It describes how the US supported mujahideen groups to fight the Soviets, which later morphed into terrorist groups like al Qaeda. The US then invaded Afghanistan after 9/11 and also invaded Iraq, though Iraq was not related to 9/11 and did not possess WMDs as claimed. This gave jihadists more incentive to fight. Over time al Qaeda became decentralized and countries like Kenya faced threats from other local jihadist networks in Africa.
Operation Enduring Freedom
Operation Enduring Freedom was launched in October 2001 in response to the 9/11 attacks. The U.S. demanded that the Taliban hand over Osama bin Laden and destroy terrorist camps, but the Taliban refused. The U.S. began bombing al-Qaeda and Taliban forces. Key battles included the Battle of Tora Bora in late 2001, where around 220 terrorists were killed. By 2004, Hamid Karzai had been elected as Afghanistan's first democratic leader. The operation continues today with support from over 50 countries and has rebuilt infrastructure, though insurgent attacks persist.

Changing Cold War Relations - afghanistan war
The Soviet Union invaded Afghanistan in 1979 to prop up the communist government that came to power after a 1978 revolution. However, many Afghans opposed communist rule and fought back as mujahedeen rebels in a civil war. The Soviet invasion was intended to ensure communist control and give the Soviets access to oil, but they faced guerrilla warfare tactics from the mujahedeen. After 10 years of fighting, the costly and unwinnable war became a disaster for the Soviets similar to the US in Vietnam, and Soviet troops withdrew in 1989.

Climate change poses national security threats according to the military. Rising global temperatures are due to increasing carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere from human activity. The military is concerned about climate change exacerbating instability in several regions of geopolitical importance. It could increase humanitarian needs and threaten military operations through impacts like changing weather patterns, rising sea levels endangering coastal bases, and pressure on resources. The military treats climate change risks seriously and prepares for possible security consequences even with some uncertainty in climate projections.
Today's War on Terror
This was a presentation given the High School students on the War on Terrorism and today's terrorism in the world.
9/11 Afghanistan War
The document provides background information on the war in Afghanistan including:
- A brief history of the Soviet war in Afghanistan from 1979-1989 and the subsequent civil wars.
- Details on the 9/11 attacks on the Twin Towers in 2001 that prompted US intervention in Afghanistan to dismantle Al-Qaeda.
- An overview of the key actors involved in the Afghanistan war such as the Taliban, Al-Qaeda, NATO forces, and the governments of the US, UK, and Pakistan.
- Statistics on US spending (over $100 billion annually since 2009) and the duration of the war (over 14 years since 2001).
- Outcomes of the war such as ongoing casualties among US, allied, and Afghan
Pakistan role in war on terror
Pakistan has played a key role in supporting the US war on terror by providing military bases and supply routes for over 75% of US and NATO supplies. However, the war has come at a huge cost to Pakistan with over 80,000 civilians and 4,795 soldiers killed and $68 billion in economic losses. In response, Pakistan has undertaken military operations like Zarb-e-Azb in North Waziristan and Karachi operations to crackdown on terrorist groups and over 20,000 terrorists have been killed. Pakistan's future strategy includes strengthening security forces and establishing domestic defense production to better combat terrorism within its borders.
9/11 PowerPoint
On September 11, 2001, 19 terrorists associated with al Qaeda hijacked four commercial airplanes and carried out suicide attacks against targets in the United States. Two of the planes were flown into the twin towers of the World Trade Center in New York City, a third plane hit the Pentagon just outside Washington, D.C., and the fourth plane crashed into a field in Pennsylvania. Nearly 3,000 people were killed during the 9/11 terrorist attacks, which triggered major U.S. initiatives to combat terrorism.
Terrorism-Causes and Types
This document discusses different types of terrorism and examples of terrorist attacks. It defines civil disorder, political terrorism, non-political terrorism, quasi terrorism, limited political terrorism, and official or state terrorism. It also discusses the 2008 Mumbai attacks where Islamist attackers received assistance and support from Pakistan's intelligence agency.
