Counterinsurgency Doctrine

Counterinsurgency Doctrine refers to strategies and tactics used by governments to combat insurgent groups—organized movements aimed at overthrowing authority. It involves a combination of military action and efforts to win the support of the local population. Key elements include addressing grievances that fuel insurgency, promoting good governance, and fostering economic development. Effective counterinsurgency aims not only to defeat insurgent forces but also to create a stable society where people trust their government and reject violence. Ultimately, success relies on building relationships with the community, ensuring security, and addressing underlying issues that contribute to unrest.
