Thank you Mr. Chairman, and through you to our witnesses.
The NATO forces in Afghanistan adapted to changing circumstances and changing enemy tactics. Examples of this include the increased use of UAVs and ISRs and a shift away from land transportation to Chinook choppers to transport soldiers. In your opinion, how important were these changes to the success of the mission? What lessons can be learned and derived from the way NATO forces, and especially the Canadian Forces, adapted to overcome the challenges?
