PNH conducted at least four major offensive operations between February 20 and February 27 across geographically distinct zones. The trench-filling tactic now appears as a standardized gang counter-mobility measure requiring engineering response. Two PNH officers killed on February 23 confirm gangs are maintaining lethal resistance capacity despite sustained pressure. New armored vehicles received February 5 are enabling operations that were previously not feasible for the PNH. GSF reinforcement in April remains the critical variable for sustaining current operational tempo past mid-year.
