It has been two months since Operation Moshtarak - involving thousands of Afghan national army troops and international soldiers - got under way in the southern Afghan province of Helmand.
Moshtarak- "together" in Dari and Pashto - was the first major test of the strategy of US President Barack Obama to take on the Taliban and end the eight-year conflict with one of the biggest offensives since the 2001 US-led invasion.
It was designed to clear Taliban fighters from Helmand's Marjah region and hold it so that the civilian administration could establish itself.
