2: Frontline States

Effectively manage transitions in the frontline states.

Other Information:

Effective transitions in Iraq and Afghanistan are critical to U.S. national security. In Iraq, State and USAID are pursuing a comprehensive strategy aimed at mitigating crisis and promoting development through economic assistance, provincial outreach, and a continuing commitment to Iraq's security services. In Afghanistan and Pakistan we will build on the progress of military and civilian surges launched in FY 2010 through a continued military offensive against al-Qaida terrorists and Taliban insurgents; continue to support a civilian campaign to bolster the governments, economies, and civil societies of both countries, and an intensified diplomatic push to support an Afghan-led political process aimed at splitting the Taliban from al-Qa'ida and ending the Afghan war .
