主要的军事行动。行动包括接近4000美军和650阿富汗警察，由海军陆战队空运，这是自越战以来最大的空运部队行动。行动的目的是镇压此地的暴乱，行动取得了一些成果，部队推进到了赫尔曼德河河谷。2009年11月份，奥巴马总统往阿富汗增援了30000美军。
US MILITARY OPERATION AGAINST TALIBAN
US Marine Sergeant Anthony
Zabala of 1st Combat Engineering Battalion of 2nd Marine Expeditionary Brigade
runs to safety as an Improvised Explosive Device (IED) explodes in Garmsir
district of Helmand Province on July 13, 2009. A foot patrol was advancing
painstakingly with metal detectors and bare hands to defuse bombs planted on a
rough track when an explosion shot a cloud of dust and rocks into the sky in
southern Afghanistan's Helmand province at dusk, killing Sergeant Michael W.
Heede Junior and Staff Sgt. David S. Spicer. Improvised Explosive Device
(IED) are responsible for 61% of U.S. military deaths in Afghanistan,
according to iCasualties.org. an independent website that tracks troop
fatalities in Afghanistan.
