The Afghanistan fighting season refers to the cyclical restarting of fighting every spring during the War in Afghanistan (2001–2021) due to weather and economic factors. It generally ran from April to October and saw more combat deaths than the off-season.[2] The Taliban, who were the main insurgent group during the War, would annually call their post-winter fighting restart as their spring offensive.[3][4][5][6][7][8]
