1950-1960 counter-insurgency tactics

Between 1950 and 1960, counter-insurgency tactics focused on winning hearts and minds, combined with military actions. Strategies included military patrols, offensive attacks on insurgent groups, intelligence gathering, and establishing secure zones. Governments often aimed to gain local support through development projects and psychological measures, while suppressing insurgents with targeted strikes. Communication, propaganda, and creating stable governance were key to undermining insurgent influence. Overall, the goal was to diminish insurgent control, gather intelligence, and foster loyalty among the population to restore order effectively.
