bi-annual assessment of the war in Afghanistan
2012-12-14
Small Wars Journal Forums:
The Pentagon released its bi-annual assessment of the war in Afghanistan, which shows security is increasing in populated areas, even if violence is up. The report also shows that only one of the 23 Afghan National Army brigades is capable of operating independently without air or other military support from U.S. or international forces. A senior defense official who briefed reporters at the Pentagon said the "fighting capability" of the Afghan forces and the fact that they carry out independent operations at many levels, even if those operations require coalition support, means they are far more capable than they were.

Biannual = twice a year (bi: 2) (annual: year)

Biennial = every 2 years (bi: 2) (ennial: recurring at [x] years)
