This paper outlines a new strategy compatible with the existing peace process and Afghan
government-Taliban dialogue. Starting in February 2020, per the terms of the agreement with the Taliban,
the United States will begin withdrawing its troops. The Study Group believes establishing these
circumstances by May 2021, when the treaty requires a troop pullout, will be difficult or impossible. A
deadline extension is the first step toward a negotiated permanent peace that meets U.S. interests.
This paper proposes a peace-building U.S. military withdrawal from Afghanistan. The United States has
made significant efforts to convene negotiations between the parties. We have to give in to the Taliban's
requests and, more crucially, impose influence on our Afghan partners, who share our political outlook
and have made huge sacrifices at our side for almost two decades. These debates are proceeding slowly.
• First, the United States should define success in Afghanistan, and
• second, it should clarify that the removal of American troops is contingent on this definition.
• The United States should support the Afghan government and the National Defense and Security
Forces (ANDSF).
• The United States should employ an aggressive diplomatic policy to ensure the success of the
peace process.
• To conclude, the Study Group suggests a comprehensive regional strategy as its fifth and final
suggestion, which is also a key part of the new methodology.
