To the Northwest, along the Kunar River, Taliban Fighters have been car bombing ANP Checkpoints by Day, and conducting mass wave attacks on ANP Outposts by Night. To the Northeast, along the Kunar River, the situation is much of the same, however Afghan National Army Bases and Checkpoints often take indirect fire from Across the Pakistani Border all times during the day, and are unable to retaliate; They also deal with an incredible amount of roadside improvised Explosive devices which neutralize patrols, along with mass wave attacks by night. Now that we have a foothold and have routed out many of the conventional established Taliban camps, many taliban fighters have taken to the mountains or have blended in with the civilian population. We are to start our slow drive north towards the main river valley, and will flush out the guerrilla fighters who have mixed in with the population in these two "off shoot" valleys to the South of Kunar Valley Proper. a. Enemy Disposition Taliban Forces are numbered to be above battalion strength in the entire Kunar Valley; We suspect there is a over a platoon-sized element + of light infantry fighters operating in each valley; ANP report frequent car bombings in 1-1's AO. Civilian reports of Taliban Hardpoints within several villages in 1-2's AO; Reports of Mortar teams moving rapidly, shelling ANP Positions to the North, in both team's AO. b.
