All,

I am doing some research into the AfPak border but having trouble finding credible, citeable data.

1) Approximately how many crossing points are there on the AfPak border (roads or common trails)?

2) How many of those are manned?

The one source I have found is an NPS thesis by a Pak LTC who claims Pakistan mans 665 border checkpoints w/75,000 troopsand Afghanistan mans 55 with far less <2000. However, he places no cite for his data.

Any help appreciated, with citeable sources greatly appreciated.
