AGNA Priority Intelligence Requirements: 1. When and where will INS conduct surveillance on AGNA convoys or facilities? 2. When and where will INS target AGNA convoys or facilities for attack? AGNA Information Requirements: 1. Are there any ongoing activities designed to slow, stop, harass, or to attack AGNA convoys? 2. Report the description and location of any suspected mobile surveillance and/or fixed point surveillance to the AGNA TOC. 3. Report the location and description of any possible suspicious activities such as questionable construction, disabled vehicles, vehicles that appear to be abandoned, or anything else that appears to be out of the ordinary to the AGNA TOC. 4. Report the absence of civilians in any area that normally has a consistent concentration of civilians to the AGNA TOC. 5. Where are the best possible INS locations to conduct surveillance and attacks against AGNA convoys? AGNA Priority of Effort: 1. Determining INS threat actions that may be aimed at attacking AGNA convoys or facilities. 2. Predicting possible INS attack sites along AGNA convoy routes of travel. 3. Determining possible disposition, composition, strength, and capabilities of INS along AGNA convoy routes of travel and facilities. Current AGNA Intelligence Gaps: Lack of timely INS Incident reporting IVO Kabul Province, Kabul City. Lack of Intelligence cooperation and information sharing among PSC’s, CF’, ISAF, NATO, or IRoA units or agency’s. Grammatical and spelling errors on Intelligence reports. Due primarily to the “phonetic” spellings of Afghan names and locations. Lack of credible information on short and mid-term INS intentions and/or plans as it relates to Kabul City. INS/AGE/ACF MLCOA IVO Kabul Province for the next 60 – 90 Days: 1. Two or more SVBIED occupants and Female or Female “dressed” BBIED’s in order to confuse current profiling. 2. INS/AGE personnel wearing and utilizing IRoA ANA and ANP uniforms and vehicles. May also have IRoA Identification Cards. 3. Kidnapping of International Citizens, LN’s employed by CF’s, as well as wealthy Afghan Citizens. 4. High profile or spectacular type attacks against western and IRoA targets IVO Kabul City. 5. Continued utilization of IED Variants and occasional IDF (rockets) IVO Kabul City. 6. Concerted INS efforts against MSR’s. MSR’s of concern are Kabul to the Torkum, PAK Border crossing and Kabul to Kandahar. 7. The INS will attempt to consolidate their power and influence in the immediate areas outside of Kabul City. Current and Valid Threat Warnings, Kabul Province, Kabul City: 1. PSC personnel being harassed, arrested and/or detained by the IRoA MOI/ANP. 2. Criminal activities to include robbery, murder, intimidation, and kidnappings IVO Kabul. 3. High profile, complex, or spectacular type attack(s): IRoA Government Office’s; CF, ISAF, and NATO Compounds, as well as Western Diplomatic Missions or Embassies. 4. Sporadic IDF (rockets), with most likely targets being KAIA or any CF Facility. 5. IED Variant Threats: Route’s Bottle, Green, Violet, White, Abbey (IVO Airport Circle), Crimson, and Pegasus. 6. IED Variant, SAF, Heavy Weapons, and Ambushes along Route Violet from CP V-8 to the PAK Border. 7. IED Variant, SAF, Heavy Weapons, and Ambushes along all routes south of Kabul City to the Musayi, and Chahar Asayb District’s of Kabul Province and all routes south of Kabul City to the Provinces south, southwest, and southeast of Kabul Province. 8. Various threats relating to Pol i- Charki Prison (PEC) and the surrounding areas of Pol-i Charki, to include Route Violet (IVO CP V-6 to CP V-7), as well as Route’s Upperland and Freedom. Current AGNA Organized Convoy Movement Policy: All organized AGNA convoy movements will be conducted in the “buttoned up” or “sealed” mode. At no time will the vehicle “seal” be broken unless ordered to do so by the Convoy or Assistant Convoy Commander or under such tactical circumstances that would warrant vacating the vehicle without orders to do so. When traveling in an organized AGNA convoy, all AGNA personnel will wear the required issued personal safety equipment/gear, to include helmets and protective vests. Prior to departure on any organized AGNA convoy movement it is the responsibility of all onboard AGNA Supervisors to personally check that all personnel fully understand and are in compliance with any and all AGNA convoy procedures, policy’s, SOP’s, and Rules of Engagement (ROE). Vary routes of travel as well as departure and arrival times. Do not become time and place predictable. Follow published AGNA SOP’s for ECM operations. Ensure ECM’s are turned off prior to entering sensitive areas. Current AGNA Security Recommendations: Thoroughly vet all LN employees. Do not allow personnel to become complacent. Constantly ensure the static guard force is complying with all policies and SOP’s as it relates to the proper screening of personnel and vehicles prior to allowing entrance. Know what the latest Route Status and Current Threats are before departing on any mission essential road travel. There are no “expiration dates” when it comes to reported threats in Afghanistan. Keep all credible threat reporting valid until the incident in question actually happens or there is credible evidence that the threat is no longer valid or the threat has been mitigated. Due to the recent cases of LN employees of “western” entities being identified, targeted, attacked, kidnapped, or singled out, ensure your LN employees understand the importance of practicing prudent personal protection as it relates to travel to and from their residences to their places of work and that they report any incident of possible surveillance, harassment, and/or intimidation. It is further recommended that your LN employees do not wear any distinguishing clothing or overtly display any identification cards/badges that would readily identify them as working for a “western entity” to and from work. All personnel must practice and be held accountable for OPSEC, COMPUSEC, and COMSEC.

The security situation in Guldra, , , Mir Bocha Kot, Qarabagh, and Shakadara District’s of Kabul Province is assessed as CALM. Little or no INS activities or threats have been noted or reported in these Districts of Kabul Province.

Current or Newly Released Information – Kabul Province:

UPCOMING: USE WARDEN MESSAGE CONCERNING INS OPTEMPO, Kabul Province, Kabul City. The U.S. Embassy wishes to inform American citizens in Afghanistan that insurgent activity is expected to rise in September. The U.S. Embassy continues to monitor the security environment for Kabul and all regions throughout Afghanistan. There is an elevated reporting tempo of general threats for Kabul, and the immediate outlying areas. Insurgents, criminals and terrorists remain intent on targeting U.S. and coalition facilities throughout the country, not distinguishing between military and civilian personnel. As we approach the beginning of the Islamic Holy month of Ramadan which begins on/about September 2nd, and the upcoming anniversary of the attacks on September 11th in the U.S., American citizens and Westerners are reminded to exercise extreme vigilance when travelling in Afghanistan. Americans who find themselves in cases of extreme emergency in Afghanistan may contact the Embassy receptionist via 0700-10-8001 or the Consular Section via mobile at 0700-20-1908. We take this opportunity to remind the community to review their safety precautions. Updated information may be obtained by contacting the American Embassy in Kabul at [email protected] or by calling the Consular Section at 0700-10-8499. For the latest security information, Americans traveling abroad should regularly monitor the Department's Internet web site at http://travel.state.gov where the Worldwide Caution, and the Travel Warning and Country Specific Information for Afghanistan can be found. Up-to-date information on security can also be obtained by calling 1-888-407-4747 toll free in the United States and Canada or, for callers outside the United States and Canada, a regular toll line at 1-202-501-4444.
