	Strange Victory: A critical appraisal of Operation Enduring Freedom and the Afghanistan war -- Project on Defense ...
		One might have hoped that Operation Enduring Freedom would have had a greater impact on Al Qaeda's global capabilities -- given the US expenditure of 12,000 bombs and missiles, the killing of at least 3,000 enemy troops, and the capture of 7,000 more.
		But the method and path charted by Enduring Freedom would lead the United States into a thicket of civil, ethnic, and interstate conflicts involving much more than the issue of terrorism (as is already the case in Afghanistan, Kashmir, and Israel).
		Enduring Freedom was also distinguished by the degree to which military expediency determined strategic choices -- such as the decision to unleash the Northern Alliance.

		Given that fewer weapons were expended, a higher level of civilian fatalities in Operation Enduring Freedom implies that the bombing campaign in Afghanistan was less accurate than the one associated with the 1999 Balkans war.
		Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Allied Force had different objectives with regard to the respective enemies in Afghanistan and Serbia.

	CCC - Russia's Military and Operation Enduring Freedom
		For the Russian military high command, however, Operation Enduring Freedom has created a number of problems, some of them related to Russia's military posture and some to the corporate self-interests of the military elite.

		Given the high hourly operations and support costs of US military aircraft, and the great distances involved, a reasonable estimate of the cost of US air operations in and around Afghanistan, through day 25, might be $150 million, exclusive of munitions costs.
		One difference between Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Desert Storm, which could affect the accuracy of this methodology, is that, while most of the strike sorties carried out during Desert Storm were flown by Air Force aircraft, most of those flown in the current operation have been flown by Navy aircraft.
