Head for the hills.

Although it has taken quite awhile, it looks like the Taliban are starting to prefer the more mountainous regions to the North and East. This seems to be their answer for losing so much ground in RC South as ISAF's sphere of influence spreads.

This of course does not mean RC South will not be busy. In fact, the Taliban will attempt more overt and kinetic attacks in that region. This will be a tough spring season, but look for more activity to the North and East. They are losing the fight with the CAS and CCA and can't take much more of it.

Get those legs and backs strong boys!
