Counterinsurgency Warfare

Counterinsurgency warfare refers to military and political strategies aimed at defeating insurgencies, which are movements that seek to overthrow an established government. This type of warfare goes beyond conventional military tactics; it involves building relationships with local populations, addressing grievances, and providing security to win their support. Effective counterinsurgency requires coordination among military forces, police, and social services, focusing on both combatting insurgents and promoting stability and development. The goal is to undermine the insurgents' influence by fostering trust in the government and creating conditions for lasting peace.
