Battle of Now Zad
The Battle of Now Zad is an ongoing battle since 2006 between ISAF coalition forces and Taliban insurgents in Nawzad at the center of Nawzad district, in the northern half of Helmand Province, southern Afghanistan.
It was considered to be an example of why the U.S. needed to change its war strategy in Afghanistan, as limited troop numbers hampered ISAF's ability to eradicate the Taliban from the strategically vital south for three years prior to reinforcements arriving in 2009.
Until August 2009, U.S. Marines were locked in a stalemate with the insurgents. British, Gurkha, and Estonian forces fought to similar standstills before the Marines arrived.〔 After several major offensive operations from August through December 2009, ISAF claims to have regained control over the district and is beginning reconstruction.
==Background==
The town of Now Zad, the capital of Now Zad district, is situated 65 kilometres north of Camp Bastion and Camp Leatherneck, the two main, adjoined Coalition bases in Helmand province. Surrounded to the southwest and east by mountains, the town consists of a bazaar, one road, and a maze of mud-brick houses and compounds, interspersed with narrow alleys. The local economy traditionally revolves around opium poppy farming.〔Rayment, p.75〕 Like much of Afghanistan, Now Zad and the surrounding area were largely peaceful after the 2001 invasion. The United Nations, European Union, and other Western-funded agencies sent staff to Nawzad to build wells and health clinics.
