Insurgency Counteraction

Insurgency counteraction involves strategies and actions taken by governments or security forces to prevent, diminish, or eliminate insurgent groups that seek to challenge authority through unconventional warfare, such as guerrilla tactics or terrorism. It includes military operations, intelligence gathering, community engagement, and addressing underlying issues like inequality or political grievances to reduce support for insurgents. Effective counteraction aims to restore stability and security while minimizing harm to civilians, often requiring a combination of combat, diplomacy, and socio-economic measures tailored to the specific threat and context.
