Real improvement can be hard to measure if it isn't a large sustained improvement.

Why do you say this? If we "clear and hold" a specific area, which I think is the plan, we should be able to compare violence within that area relative to violence in areas not yet "cleared and held". Hopefully the held areas have less violence. If not, I would say the plan isn't working. If so, then the plan is working, and additional areas need to be cleared and held.
