режим планомерных и недостаточно обеспеченных ресурсами завершающих действий

русский => английский Общественные науки Государство / Политика
This is from an article about mistakes made by the US in Afghanistan after the Taliban were overthrown.

"Вследствие этого активность ведения операции «Несгибаемая свобода» была излишне рано снижена. Быстрое же переключение на решение «иракской проблемы» перевело эту операцию в режим планомерных и недостаточно обеспеченных ресурсами завершающих действий."

Draft translation Here's what I've come up with so far: "The rapid transfer of attention to solving the "Iraq problem" transformed this operation into a holding action in which insufficient resources were provided."

Due to this, Enduring Freedom was put on the back burner too soon.

Ooops, posted in the wrong window. Here it is again.

Quickly shifting the emphasis to solving the "Iraqi problem" relegated this operation to the status of an insufficiently staffed and supplied mop-up action.
Peer comment(s):

agree Rachel Douglas : With your "relegated" and "mop-up" sentence. The intro sentence I think would be better with something simple like "cut back" for "снижена", rather than the back burner.

Thanks, Rachel. It's a matter of personal preference I guess, there's definitely more ways than one to put it.
