Since 2005, a “chicken or egg” dilemma has dominated the discourse over the order in which United States missions in Afghanistan can succeed. Given the current U.S. foreign policy interests and strategies in Afghanistan, are the counternarcotics, counterterrorism and development missions best achieved simultaneously (the status quo) or sequentially? If sequentially, in what order should they be prioritized? To answer these questions, I first separate the tri-mission nexus (counternarcotics, counterterrorism, development) into three bi-mission nexuses (e.g., counternarcotics and development) and examine each pair by asking: 1) To what extent and in what ways do the two goals have a shared mission? 2) Is the success of one a necessary condition for the other to achieve its mission? 3) Is the success of one a sufficient condition for the other to achieve its mission? and 4) What positive or negative externalities or “crossfire” exist between goals? The first question contextualizes the bi-nexus. The second and third questions -- regarding necessary and sufficient conditions -- are asked in both “directions” and seek to understand the meaning of one operation's success for the other operation. The final question exposes the positive and negative externalities of each mission's operational strategies on the other's success. Next, I synthesize the bi-nexus data to generate a detailed description of the counternarcotics, counterterrorism, and development tri-nexus. My analysis of this nexus holds constant U.S. interests in Afghanistan and the strategies selected to meet phase recommendation.
