counterinsurgency training

Counterinsurgency training prepares military and security forces to effectively fight insurgencies—organized efforts by groups aiming to challenge government authority through unconventional tactics. It emphasizes understanding local cultures, building trust with communities, gathering intelligence, and employing a mix of military, political, economic, and social strategies. The goal is to defeat insurgents while winning the support of the local population, ultimately enabling stability and governance. This comprehensive approach balances combat operations with efforts to address underlying issues that fuel insurgencies, ensuring a more sustainable and effective response.
