This report focuses on both the US military's localized governance, and development projects and US civilian stabilization programming from 2009 through 2012. Based on interviews with Afghan and international respondents, it finds that the surge has not met its transformative objectives due to three US assumptions that proved unrealistic. It also examines lessons from the US surge's impact on local governance that can be applied towards Afghanistan's upcoming transition.
