counterinsurgency tactics

Counterinsurgency tactics are strategies used by a government or military to combat insurgency, which is a revolt against authority, often from within a country. These tactics combine military action and diplomatic efforts, focusing on winning the support of the local population. This can include providing security, improving infrastructure, and delivering essential services, to undermine insurgent influence. Additionally, counterinsurgency involves gathering intelligence, conducting operations to defeat insurgents, and fostering political solutions to address grievances that fuel unrest. The goal is to create a stable environment where citizens feel safe and supported, discouraging them from supporting insurgent groups.
