Counterinsurgency Field Manual

The Counterinsurgency Field Manual is a guide created by the U.S. military to help address conflicts where a government is facing an insurgency, or rebellion. It outlines strategies to win the support of the local population, improve security, and rebuild institutions. The manual emphasizes the importance of understanding the local culture, effective communication, and collaboration with civilians. It highlights that success in counterinsurgency involves not just military action, but also political, economic, and social efforts to address the root causes of unrest and create a stable, secure environment.
