Learning from the First Victories of the 21st Century: Mazar-e Sharif - A Preview

Abstract

This publication was prepared as a preview to the Enduring Freedom Reconstruction products and capabilities. The objective of the Enduring Freedom Reconstruction task, in support of the Defense Advanced Research Project agency at the request of General Tommy Frank, CENTROM Commander, was to "reconstruct salient aspects of a major Afghanistan campaign (e.g. Mazar-e Sharif) in virtual simulation to support historical analysis as well as future research and development." The purpose of the publication and associated media is to (1) contrast state-of-the-art simulation 10 years ago with today's capabilities, (2) provide an overview of the campaign for Mazar-e Sharif and focus on the battle at Tiangi (pass), and (3) demonstrate the use of the "Tiangi" re-creation as basis for comparing the contributions of various future systems.
