Operation Anaconda was the first large-scale battle of the war for Sustaining Independence, which involved special operations forces and international allies. Kugler (2007), however, claims that such forces collaborated in 2002 in Afghanistan's Shahi Kotvally. During the battle, the troops had to deal with too many variables in a harsh mountainous landscape. The troops encountered numerous obstacles in addition to the rugged terrain, which led to the failure of the operation. As Operation Anaconda is often used to demonstrate the value of seven-state leadership principles, this article uses Operation Anaconda as a case study to examine the principles.
