Addendum to SIGAR's January 2018 Quarterly Report to the United States Congress

For SIGAR's January 2018 Quarterly Report to the United States Congress, Resolute Support (RS) initially instructed the agency not to publicly release district, population, and land-area control data marked NATO/RSUNCLASSIFIED. RS has since reversed this directive, informing SIGAR on February 15, 2018, that it was an error and the data had been re-marked for public release.2 RS also declassified a detailed control map and the underlying data for each of Afghanistan's 407 districts, shown in Figure 2and Table 2.3 For information about how RS assesses district control, seepage 5 and Table 1. SIGAR is publishing this addendum to the January 2018 quarterly report to provide analysis of the now-releasable control data for Congress and the public.
